02-01-11


Baby, it’s cold outside! On this first of February. Life feels a little raw around the edges. And we need serious help composing a decent family photo!

I’m struck by how life – the good, the bad, the everyday – is so intertwined. On Sunday Pastor John used the woman touching Jesus’ hem as a charge to be mindful of the importance of touch. Our reading assignment for mission trip talks about interruptions – how Jesus was always available for interruptions (specifically mentioning the same touch) and how our God is all about interrupting us- interrupting our routines and the status quo. And my current fiction book spent a page talking about being an agent of change in a society where the status quo is having no status quo at all.

Not a big fan of change or interruptions, but this makes it seem a little more inviting.
