True? 

Once upon a time a man whose axe was missing  suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his axe while digging in his garden, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.

Another Reminder for Sunday, September 12, 2021.

Here are the links for Sunday:

Isaiah 22:  He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.  I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open.
Romans 11:  Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!  How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
Matthew 16:  “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.  For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.  And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.  I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. . . .”

 

They asked Duke Ellington how he learned to play such soulful music and he told them, “I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” Point: It’s learning to let what’s in us out that is the key to becoming the fullness of the self.
