GO WITH THE FLOW
Further on the theme of "living water" that God offers us through Jesus, that God is, I came across this poem that has its own evocative power:
Currents
Every now and then take your soul to the river.
Notice the things the river things -
ducks, seaweed, canoes, broken branches, you.
Notice too what it takes away ...
live things and dead things too,
all afloat in a passing water parade.
Wind inseparable from water, feel it
penetrate your skin.
Heed the pull of every current
curling a finger, calling your name, taking you with it
wherever it will.

Putting God's realm first was what Jesus commended. Another way of phrasing that is: "Pay full attention to what God is doing right now". S o, what is God doing right now in your life? What is the invitation? What are the possibilities. We are asking the same questions about Marshall Memorial as a congregation. Let the Spirit speak.
