What does today look like?

Unseasonably warm weather which has made me yearn for spring and long for snow!  I don't get it.  I think it's a grass is greener thing.

Drop-Ins to my office that have reminded me of the incredible tapestry of people's lives.  So many dynamics.  Such different personalities.  Yet, to those who are looking for God, there is light and encouragement and hope.  It reminds me of my favorite Browning poem:

Earth's crammed with heaven,

And every common bush afire with God;

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,

The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries,

 

I'm encouraged by a warm and meaningful Annual Celebration that allowed the hearts of so many good people to be seen and appreciated.  This church continues to raise my suspicions.  While I believe we are all recipients of God's grace and while I do agree that FCC has been given a great measure of that grace through the amazing people God has brought to us.  I DO NOT believe God has done this for our viewing pleasure.  He's up to something!  The deck is being stacked with great resources and people.  May we not miss the moment when He begins to unfold His heart.

And God, grant that I'm right in the middle of it!
