understanding.

The seed of God is
in us.
Given an intelligent
and hard-working farmer,
it will thrive and
grow up to God, whose seed it is;
and accordingly its
fruits will be God-nature.
Pear seeds grow into
pear trees,
nut seeds into
nut trees, and God-seed into God.

We have had a lot of rain these
last few months and it is nice to
see the waterfall at the dam
extending from edge to edge!

Marion, in our Memories in the
Making class at Life Care Nursing Home,
called her painting "Friday Night
Fish Fry."
Mac is the one who, a few months
ago, painted "An Ear of Corn With No Kernels."
This painting is "The Worm That Ate
the Ear of Corn!"

Some luck lies in
not getting what you thought
you wanted
but getting what you have,
which once you have
got it
you may be smart
enough to see
is what you
would have wanted had you known.

Sunday in Ordinary Time
He left that place and came to his
hometown, and his disciples followed him. On the sabbath he began to teach in
the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, “Where did this
man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of
power are being done by his hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary
and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here
with us?” And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are
not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in
their own house.” And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid
his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their
unbelief.
