Isaiah 6:  And then I heard the voice of the Master: "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" I spoke up, "I'll go. Send me!"

1 Corinthians 15:  So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it's all the same: We spoke God's truth and you entrusted your lives.

Luke 5:  When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."

Rosemary's Blessing:

May God’s love and mercy encircle you today

With living laughter that renews and saves
