We have excellent sermon this morning from Bishops Jerry and Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan very happy to have Rev Bryan back from his bypass surgery. He is at home about to start cardiac rehab, but nonetheless is able to write a stirring sermon.  Rev Jack brings the Propers together today.    His sermon is below the propers and can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/VULitOjWCtc

Once again, this Collect is kind of a restatement of many of the Collects. First, we ask God to hear our prayers, funny in that He always listens intently to us when we pray and we very seldom listen to Him when He answers. It is an odd paradox, He listens; we never seem to listen.  aul reminds us though each believer is different, be in in personality, size, shape or color, in Christ’s church those distinctions are nearly meaningless. In the Church we each have our own differing talents that we can use to further his mission on this Earth. When Luke wrote of the sales in the temple, he had a point. The point was not to preclude jumble sales at church. He is not against the sales. However, what He is against is the cheating in the name of God.  There is more.  Having trouble visualizing it all coming together?  Read or listen to Rev Jack’s sermon.

There are always many people who need your prayer, please start with Bryan, Mr. Kim, Tricia, Shamu, Laurie and work out from there.

There's a lot coming up this week, some of it perceived good summer for perceive bad. If you're having difficulty telling one from the other, and only seeing the downside, I suggest you have a discussion with your soul and see if you can ask God to send that Third God Guy, the Holy Ghost, to give you a hand.

Have an epic week,

Godspeed,

Hap
