All Around Me, Every Day

Yeah - it gets better. We're in "Ordinary Time" - so this is either:

The 23rd week after Pentecost (or Pentecost +23)

Ordinary 32

Proper 27

Sounds like the church, doesn't it? Make things really boring, rigid, but with important sounding titles. Proper 27 - oooo...

But the Holy Spirit has been working in amazing ways this summer, even though we don't "schedule" the Spirit to do so... I just got a report of a man who is seeking treatment for alcoholism. There's a couple families working through some pretty big betrayals - but they're doing it together. There's a young couple that I know who, despite having everything working against them and nearly everyone working against them, they are fighting to make it together. And, let's face it, the sun rose every morning, we had breath in our lungs, light in our eyes, hope in our hearts.

The Holy Spirit may not be too acknowledged in our labels, but I won't deny the Spirit's work all around me every day.
