We approach the Pentecost readings. Or ... are they approaching us? Probably both.

I began by reading Psalm 104...a celebration of the creative force of God's Spirit...

A hand that moves over and within all of creation bestowing all that is essential to sustain us. Creation and critters know that.

I wonder, do I REALLY know that? Or do I strive on my own to acquire extras? Of course... those are rhetorical questions.... but I can use them as starting points for prayer. Can I honestly place my priorities under a God lens and see what is clearly given and desired for me by God .... and see what I am either clinging to or striving for that sprouts from self-determination or fear.

Let it be so. Blow, Spirit, Blow....
