Epiphanies in August

After slicing my index finger Sunday I realized that Twitter is popular because it is difficult to write tomes with your thumbs.
 
The sign for life is two thumbs up
 
A church member asked me on Sunday what is on my life bucket list.  I realized I am doing what I'm meant to be doing right now. And that surprised me because lately I have been grieving about the future of our church. 
 
Scripture this morning from Mat. 13:31-35. Parables of mustard seeds and yeast. We are placed where we make the greatest difference.  If seeds or yeast remain in their packaging, with others of their own kind, are they as effective as when they are tossed into the larger world, where against the odds they make the greater impact.  We as Christians can remain surrounded by others who believe as we do- and that's fulfilling for a while. But our call, our commission, is to be seeds of truth in a barren world, and be yeast to change it, where we are planted. 👍👍
