John Cade's Homily:
Our readings today offer visuals of how difficult it can be to fully accept a call from the Spirit within. In the book of Kings we have the little drama between Elijah and Elisha and how Elisha held back at first saying, “Let me kiss my mother and father goodbye, then I’ll follow you.” In this case, Elisha, after being rebuked by him, answered the call of Elijah.
In Luke’s story the people in a Samaritan village wouldn’t follow Jesus or even let him stay in their town; he was, after all, a Jew. Luke continues his story by giving examples of three different people who responded to the call to follow Jesus by either not giving an answer at all, or by asking for time to bury a parent or to say goodbye to his family.
The poker players on the loose.
My mind and heart are still with Carol and her passing last week. At her memorial we heard testimony to the many ways she followed the Spirit within, calling her. I’m not saying Carol was perfect. Is anybody? I’m saying she was an inspiration to me and to this community. Carol gave permission to her therapist, Jill Grant, to speak at the Memorial. Jill said how at first she couldn’t write anything about Carol but words that spilled out when she thought of Carol. Words like: Kind. Energy. Lovable. Fighter. Tolerant. Leader. Beautiful. Energizer Bunny. Playful. Student. Teacher. Intelligent. Brave. Enthusiasm. Loving. Innocent. Fighter. Friend. Courageous. Beloved. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother. Grandmother. Inspiration.
The receiving line for Cindy & Ken.
Something I didn’t know about Carol was that, at the age of 7, she was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, which meant muscle weakness and chronic fatigue, to the point that from 2nd to 9th grade she attended classes half days and homeschooled in her High School years. In spite of this Carol not only completed her High School GED, but completed college and was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. She again showed herself to be a fighter over the past few years. In spite of fatigue and pain Carol seemed to know more than normal about how to maintain her balance, and her enthusiasm for life as it came to her. To me, a major inspiration.
Two more of The Best, Sydney & Ken.
You too, Rich, have been on my mind and heart for some time. One thing I have been inspired by was your constancy and your trust in this community. When you and Carol attended together you were clearly here together. When Carol became too fatigued to come with you, there you were. You did not seem to really be alone; I could see Carol’s Spirit with you, as I still do. I want you to know that your constancy and your trust in this community has been an inspiration to me and all here.
My question for us: How do we follow the call of the Spirit within, how do we live our life as it comes to us?
In trouble, Hue??
