The Heartbeat of Time

Nicholas Connolly
Pastor of First and Grace United Methodist Churches

The Second Sunday in Advent
December 6, 2009

The names of the Sundays are taken from
The Bible Through the Seasons: A Three-Year Journey with the Bible

Scripture: Luke 3:1-6

Nick shares a glass clock given by his brothers and him to their parents on their 25th Wedding Anniversary, 50 years ago. The quiet ticking of the clock continues to this day.

The ticking of time is as our heartbeats. When it is silent enough to hear the clock and feel our heart, then we are entering into the wider, silent space into which these gentle noises and feelings can be felt.
