Human beings easily get bored.  Life's routines can become so predictable that there is often little time for excitement or freshness.  Today is all about the new and the wonderful.  In celebrating the beauty and simplicity of the Epiphany, we see in tangible ways God's creative, redemptive, and restorative power.  This refreshment and revitalization is offered not only to a select few but to everyone throughout the world.  There is nothing routine or static about God.  Surprises, wonders, miracles, opportunities, healings, and joy without measure are available to those who believe.  There are never any endings, just beginnings.  And, when darkeness, boredom, and gloom seem to be the order of the day, a bright new light now shines pointing us to truth and reminding us that we are loved.
