EVOLUTION
There are still people who
don’t believe in evolution.
“Hello!”
They miss seeing people
learning to play the piano.
“Hello!”
They miss people learning
to change their opinions.
“Hello!”
They fail to see how having
children change their parents.
“Hello!”
They miss God at every Holy Water
font and every swimming pool.
“Hello!”

FAITH CALLS
FOR
MOTION
Faith calls for motion, movement,
not just mouth and words.
It calls
for steps towards the hurting brother
or sister, child or nursing home folks.
It calls for study and then going down
into the river and coming up from the
depths a new creation - a beloved
daughter and son of God - and
treating everyone else the same way.

Thought for today:
“Having served on various committees, I have drawn up a list
of rules. Never arrive on time; this
stamps you as a beginner. Don’t say
anything until the meeting is half over; this stamps you as being wise. Be as vague as possible; this avoids
irritating the others. When in doubt, suggest that a subcommittee be
appointed; this will make you popular;
it’s what everyone is waiting for.”

CANDLE GOING OUT
When does someone, anyone,
get what a candle going out means?
Watch little kids around a birthday
cake when the candles are blown out.
One kid stops and stares at the smoke
rising towards the ceiling and forever.
The others just see the cake
and wish it was their birthday.
The one who wonders about the smoke is
the one who wonders about mystery forever.
