Interpreting the “Our Father”
By LISA ROTHROCK

Ever spoken, recited, chanted, meditated on, or prayed the “Our Father” and thought, “Huh?” For example, why do we say an expanded “Our Father” over what Matthew 6:9-15 says? Why do we have such variable phrases for the same words, such as “Our Father who is in heaven, uphold the holiness of your name” instead of “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name”? And then we have “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

This Week’s Recipe:
 
Curried Squash and Mushroom Soup

The acorn squash is glossy green, ribbed, and sits next to the butternut squash–tall, pale yellow and smooth.  No need to choose between them. They are delicious together, whether roasted and mashed, sliced into gratins or casseroles, and in this lovely soup. This recipe is lightly adapted from the 1977 Moosewood Cookbook, which holds many of the soup recipes I use and adapt. Although you could take a shortcut by adding a tablespoon

What a mood change! Instead of moping, all curled up in the back seat, he sat up and stuck his nose eagerly into the crack in the rear window, all the way to our rented house on the hill above the railroad station in Flagstaff.

The house was nice enough there, but Read More
