Recently I heard about a new scam that seems very clever. It seems
there are French wine merchants who are counterfeiting bottles of
expensive wines. Here’s how it works. The scammers print labels
that pass as the real thing and attach them to bottles of ordinary
wine. Since these 1st growth wines would not be consumed for
twenty or thirty years, the purchaser has no way of knowing, short
of sampling a bottle, that the product he has bought is a fake.
When the bottles are finally opened twenty years from now, the person counterfeiting the wine is long gone and untraceable. Of all the
scams I have heard of, this one seems the most subtle and creative.

Please Note: The Crucifer will be published and mailed out on December 13. This will be the only issue for the
month of December. If you have something you would like published, the deadline for submission will be December 4.
In the Garden of Eden, the serpent is described as “subtle.” Most
evil is subtle – attempting to seduce us into wrong behaviors or beliefs, or entice us to trade away something holy for something profane. Sadly, the world is filled with opportunities that would scam
us and harm our relationship with God and each other. Happily,
the God “in whom we live and move and have our being” offers us
a way to withstand these temptations: a relationship with the incarnate Christ.
During the season of Advent we anticipate the coming of Christ
into the world. I invite you to pause during this short holy season to
prepare your heart to receive a gift that is more valuable than any
other. Prepare with Bible study, prayer and participation in the
bread and wine of Holy Communion. We have been promised that
this wine is good for the soul and a foretaste of
wonderful things to come.

Christ begins the sermon on the mount not by pronouncing maledictions on the wicked, but by pronouncing benedictions on His people. Yet strangely
the next word is "blessed" or "happy" are the poor—"the
poor in spirit." Who, previously, had ever regarded the
poor as the “blessed” ones of earth? And who beside
Christians regard or even honor the poor today? These
opening words are foundational to all Christ’s subsequent teaching: it is not what a man does but what he
is that is most important.
Another current day example of this can be found in
the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, or
Alanon, originally written by The Oxford Group who
were involved in starting the Anglican Church.
1. We admitted we were powerless over ________,
that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit." So, what is poverty of

As you read this or any of the beatitudes you might
look into your own heart and examine your feelings
towards them. In order to follow them successfully
one must surrender to God and ask for his help to
live into the Beatitude. It is in surrendering or taking
on a childlike attitude of trust in God to help us that
we are able to receive his grace and transforming
touch. While we can desire to be more like Christ and
make ourselves available for God’s transforming
touch it is through the Holy Spirit and the work of
Grace that we are transformed.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.

Second Sunday of Advent
modern day terms, it makes me think of the Carrie
Underwood song, “Jesus take the Wheel”, where she
cries out for Jesus’ help as her car is spinning out of
control and she realizes there is nothing she can do.
In a recent sermon, I suggested meditating on one of
the Beatitudes each month so I thought I would share
some thoughts on the first one. The beatitudes are
eight statements, blessings or benedictions taught by
Jesus in the Opening of the Sermon on the Mount
(Mathew 5:3-10). They are concerned with virtue and
how a believer in Jesus Christ can achieve that virtue.
The Beatitudes are a map of life, a series of directives
helping us on our journey to be with God. They also
designate the actual condition of people who follow
God's guidelines.
The First Beatitude
CHILDREN’S CHAPEL

7:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. -
Reflecting on the Beatitudes
spirit? It is the opposite of that haughty, self-assertive,
and self-sufficient disposition that the world so much
admires and praises. It is the very reverse of that independent and defiant attitude that refuses to bow to
God, that determines to brave things out, and that
says with Pharaoh, "Who is the Lord, that I should
obey His voice?" (Ex. 5:2). To be poor in spirit is to realize that I have nothing, am nothing, and can do nothing without God and have need of God to accomplish
all things. Poverty of spirit is most evident in a person
when he is brought to the end of himself in the dust
before God and must acknowledge his utter helplessness and need for God’s grace. It is the first experiential evidence of God’s work of grace within a soul and
corresponds to the initial awakening of the far country when he "began to be in want" (Luke 15:14). In
To take any person, situation or thing and put it in
the blank and pray thru these statements is just one of
many ways to live into the first Beatitude.

Melba Medford, 3014 Old Bullard Road.
Advent is here! The ordinary time of Pentecost is
over. As a child, I felt such excitement when the
altar hangings changed from green to purple. In
my child’s mind, purple meant Christmas was
coming, and the candles on the Advent wreath
were lit in an exciting countdown to that special
day. As an adult, I have a deeper appreciation of
the Advent season, but I still experience the childhood thrill of seeing purple on the altar. “Purple
means prepare!” a priest once said. Prepare for
the birth of the Christ child and his coming
again.
Also, you may not be aware that
we have budding actors in our
parish. To aid these young thespians, the youth department is
accepting used clothing, hats,
shoes, and accessories. Feel free
to donate those vintage items, which includes the
70’s, 80’s and 90’s! These kids are great at role
playing in Sunday school and EYC. They simply
need the garb to go with the talent. Items may be
dropped off in my office.
Purple means prepare! Advent is here! Let us rejoice and be thankful for the gift of the Christ,
who was and is and will be forever.
The first Sunday in Advent, December 3, holds
particular excitement for me in yet another way.
On that day, Vance Garvey will begin his ministry
as senior high youth leader. Vance is an experienced youth minister with an energy and love for
God. He is a native East Texan who comes to us
by way of the youth ministry staff of St. John the
Divine in Houston. You will have a chance to
meet him during the Annual Meeting on December 3, and you will also get to know him as he introduces himself on this page in future Crucifer
articles.
