Collective opportunities

9/20/05 Our Heavenly Father, we thank you again for another day of life and opportunity. Help us focus on our individual and collective opportunities – on things that need doing – on folks that need our support and to forgive those we need to forgive. Amen

Made it through the first sentence with autocorrect guessing what word would come next.

Is my phone learning to pray?

Are our conversations with God likewise so predictable?

I have learned in my Bible studies and in general reading it seems to hold true, also, “watch for the phrase/word, that seems not to belong.” Often it holds the key.

Today’s key is collective. Put together with opportunities, you have dynamite for change in a community.

So, today’s picture is what I would see if I walked out my front door. It is a view of the community beyond these walls. It is a call to venture forth and watch for the collective opportunities. They hold the key.
