It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. The music, decorations, advent candle, scripture, and message all focus on preparation for Christmas. We don’t usually call each other ornery during the worship service at Hometown Friends Church, but today we did. Our musical wondering and wandering included the question of why Jesus would come for poor ornery people like you and me. I’m not going to waste my time (and integrity) trying to deny that the descriptor fits.
