This morning I meet a final time with a couple planning their marriage. They have worked hard and are as ready as any couple to take on this great calling. Today I must the hardest questions about family and future because marriage is something that requires full contemplation.
Summer is full swing and our people in need seem to be holding their own. So this morning I have had time to contemplate and discovered an insight from the author Joan Chittister.
"Clearly, in the serious contemplation of our place in the human community, likes the quality of our contemplation. To truly contemplate, we must every day take others into the narrow little confines of our lives and listen to their call to us to be about something greater than ourselves."
That is what we should doing. We know ourselves where others don’t. We have made ourselves as good as we can. To be more we must go outside ourselves. To be greater we must seek something greater.
How’s your day going? Going through the motions are thinking about being something greater than yourself? Think about it!

We talk about this tomorrow in His sanctuary.
