When This Happens, I Stop Everything


I was thinking yesterday that I have nothing to write this week.  I confess to being a bit depleted.  The pandemic has isolated me as well as most of you.  The goal of these offerings is shortchanged for lack of environment. How can one ‘EXPLORE what it means to live in Christ’ when the only thing noticeable is the matted pathways of the worn-down living room carpet?  (Ok - I could probably make something out of that.  Another day, perhaps.)

Even though we are beginning to circulate more, it’s clearly not the same.  Public expeditions are stiff and uncomfortable.  We back-off rather than embrace. Hesitation conquers advancement.  Yesterday’s full-steam-ahead is vanquished as we now tread lightly. 

But, as often happens, something happens!

Circle the Wagons

Of course I walked today!  It's apparently my time to think.  And weird things start to happen when I think.  You know that already.

I noticed a bus advertisement for the local newspaper.  They're encouraging people to sign up for, what they call, the "Inner Circle".  This group of people receive all kinds of new "benefits" with their membership.  I started to consider the human need to belong.
