-- Muriel S. Lipp

Growing Within the Cracks

Soft, touchable, textured moss and fuzzy leaves

growing in the cracks on the stone patio...

even violets and periwinkle

blooming as if all the world is theirs in which to become who they are...

to bloom and give their share for Nature's feast:

nectar and pollen for honey,

beauty for me...

Their tender beauty touches me deeply.

Does my gentle touch stir anything in them?

-- Nancy Lawrence

Sermons

August 29, 2010

In the lectionary readings for today God is complaining that people don’t turn to Him but instead, act as if they were gods themselves. In Jeremiah He says: “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.” Imagine that! People are ignoring God, thefountain of living water, and relying solely on their own cracked cisterns. They probably don’t even know their cisterns are cracked -- that’s how proud they are.
