Getting Outside

This has been an absolutely beautiful week. It has been joyous to just be outside. My wife and I even went for a sunset stroll down the spit last night. And then when I read the lectionary passage from Acts - well ...
The God who made the world and everything in it, God who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by human hands, nor is God served by human hands, as though God needed anything, since God God-self gives to all mortals life and breath and all things. From one ancestor God made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and God allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for God and find God -- though indeed God is not far from each one of us. For 'In God we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are God's offspring.' (Acts 17:24ff)
Wait a minute. What am I doing inside? I'll see you out on the water!


Blessed Be


Joel
