Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Think About It
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way
that will lead others to join you.”- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Worry or…..?
I mentioned last week we have the choice to worry over situations that are out of our control or we can be concerned about the unknown with the assurance that we are not alone.

Think About It
“Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.” –
Elisabeth Elliot
Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Think About It
“Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” -Plato
You have a decision to make!
It doesn’t take long to discover a universal emotion we all wrestle with from our earliest days on earth: worry. We worry because of life’s many uncertainties. There are times we all feel vulnerable and not in control. What does this lead to? Worry.
God Knows!
Does anyone know everything about you? Your spouse would be the one who comes closest, but everything? I doubt it. Sometimes we are afraid to let people know us completely. After all, if they knew our sinful, selfish, and corrupt side we may be rejected. We naturally reveal our best actions and intentions and not the one’s generated by our fallen nature.

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep. I am afraid of sheep led by a lion.” -Alexander the Great
Burning Man
Have you heard of the “Burning Man” before now? Hard not to with the recent flooding at Black Rock City. Heavy rains flooded the 400 square mile desert, stranding some 70k attendees who paid anywhere from $575 to over one thousand dollars for the week-long festival. It originated on June 21, 1986 in San Francisco on Baker Beach and has grown ever since.
