God for us, we call you “Father.”
God alongside us, we call you “Jesus.”
God within us, we call you “Holy Spirit.”
Together, you are the Eternal Mystery
That enables, enfolds, and enlivens all things,
Even us and even me.
Every name falls short of your goodness and greatness.
We can only see who you are in what is.
We ask for such perfect seeing—
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.
Amen.
I really delight in reading the comic strip Pickles. Very often I identify with Earl and his interactions with Opal. But today’s strip is just too close to home.
Yesterday was a major milestone in our relationship with our feral cat Scuffy. Ann was able to get her to take food out of her hand. It is amazing how you can form friendships when you give away treats.
Congratulations to son-in-law Dan Crockett. He is doing a great job at 5/3 Bank. This week he was recognized as the top investment executive for Kentucky. I am very proud of him.
This is a banner weekend. Three family birthdays. Today is grandson Chase Ezell’s birthday. He is a senior student at Campbellsville University. Tomorrow is grandson Tyler Gabehart’s birthday. Tyler will be 9 years old. He is enjoying playing his first year of organized basketball.
Sunday is Ann’s birthday. We are looking forward to doing something special in Sarasota after church. It looks like Sunday will be the first really nice day we have had weather wsie. Beach time maybe?
