"Be on guard so that your hearts are not are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, like a trap..."
Luke 21:34-35

I had to look up the word "dissipate." Apparently, not only does it mean to disperse and dissolve, it also means to over indulge in sensual living, especially in relation to alcohol. The text for this week (Luke 21:25-36) ends with a warning about dissipating as we await the return of Christ. This seems to be especially true during the season of Advent. Rather than indulging in excessive celebrating and spending during the holidays, this is to be a time of fermentation, not dissipation. It is a time to wait, to rest, to age... to prepare.

Maundy Thursday

For the disciples it was just another meal with Jesus. They had a sense that something significant was happening, but none of them would have predicted the violence to come. For Christ however, the cross loomed... coloring everything that evening. He would wash their feet that night, but the next day he would cleanse them with his blood.
