Welcome in, Sasha. Nice to meet John's step granddaughter.

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 2^nd to 9^th 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??

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

And sez John, "Welcome in, Everybody.

Readings:

Proverbs 8, 22-31, I was his delight day by day playing before him all the while. ( A Good One )

Psalm 8, You have made him little less than the angels ( A beautiful Psalm )

John 16, 12-15, I have much more to tell you.

And Geri, too, tells everybody, "Hurry up and get in before it rains again."

A Metaphor of Life, The Icy Straight Point Zip Line

Anybody know what a zip line it? Ever ridden one?

For those unfamiliar with a zip line, it is a cable strung between two tree tops or multiple tree tops. A rider gets into a harness, hooks onto the cable, steps out, and rides the cable to the next tree top.

Claire & Patricia, What are you two cooking up?

The one Rosemary & I took some years ago was outside Ashville, SC. We were there to celebrate the wedding of Lori Bayer. This zip line crossed a valley and involved landing 4-5 times on platforms set up in trees along the way. Great fun.

There is another zip line. The Mother of all zip Lines. Guess where. Yep, Alaska. Specifically on an island inhabited by the Tlilgit Indian tribe, an island called Icy Straight Point. The Indians are mining gold today from their welcoming tourists.

Who let you out on the streets this morning, Mike?

Why the Mother of all Zip Lines? In the whole world it is the longest and the highest, over one mile long with no stops from start to finish. Instead of one cable, six, with six riders simultaneously. How long to cover the mile from the top of the mountain to the base? About one minute! Figure out how fast this is? Yep! 60 mph.

Our cruise ship the Orion with 900 passengers, moored at their dock one morning. Unfortunately, it was rainy & chilly. So Rosemary decided to take a guided trip to watch some bears. It was not that either one of us was interested in riding the zip line with such weather. I was just hanging around when 15 minutes later the sun came out and the rain stopped. I had to go. It was the last bus load up the mountain.

Would somebody please go sit with John?

It was so worth it, including the price of ca. $150. I’ve never parachuted, but it must be similar. The attendants buckled me into no. 4, my 5 companions all seemed ready, the guys said, “Here you go,” The gates swung open, we were pushed from behind, and I was flying down my cable so fast I stuck out my hands like wings, and started laughing almost hysterically.

Jan, watch that Denni closely or she'll be putting extra bread in her purse for snacks during Mass. Just like the kids.

Why talk about a zip line in a Sunday homily? This world class zip line is a metaphor for our lives.

First, there is overwhelming beauty. Every day we encounter and are surrounded by beauty, the beauty of nature, the beauty of human creativity, the beauty of people, big as well as little ones. Look at Georgie & Buddy, Zoe and Tori.

This is a shout out for Rick. He needs a kidney transplant, Blood type O negative. Please spread the word.

Like my minute on the zip line, our lives, too, go by with enormous speed. Before I knew it, I’m almost 80 years old.

Finally, the exhilaration at the end of the ride. I was so high when I stepped out of that harness and so was everyone in my group.

How is your life like a one mile long Indian zip line?

The Best Music in town, Shonda, Ben, & David.
