Preaching on the Transfiguration offered an opportunity to reflect upon all light, all love, triumphing over darkness:  Blessed be God who animates our lives and charges the world with a grandeur of glory divine. AMEN One of my favorite theological books is entitled Just Because It Didn’t Happen Does not Mean It Is Not True! I think of this book and its title message at times like today when something so mysterious, miraculous and quite frankly unbelievable, like the Transfiguration is presented.  I try to shift my attention, and perhaps yours, away from inquiries of whether “it” really happened and how could it have? toward fracking for some kind of truth. It is all very similar to pondering the Resurrection! and may even be a foreshadowing of that ultimate transfiguration. I feel assisted by the coupling with the story of Moses which rarely gets the same kind of deep consideration and yet somehow it seems to me that it should give us some clues into the ultimate magnificence of God
