The Hubbell Pew

Maybe what is good about religion is playing that the Kingdom will come, until in the joy of your playing, the hope and the rhythm and comradeship and poignance and mystery of it – you start to see that the playing is itself the first-fruits of the Kingdom’s coming and of God’s presence within us and among us.—Frederick Buechner

Tuesday of the Second Week in Lent

Even tho’ your dreams were dashed and knocked about, you are still that dream under everything you doubt. -- A. Rothschild

These words to a song were written by a musician just weeks before he died. They were words that eased him into death.When I first read them I felt visited by angels. Perhaps it is because they carve meaning in our lives even when the world seems to work against us. Lent’s spiritual renewal continues to allow us to hear this sweet message of truth. It is the every day distractions of life that won’t let us hear the message.

What is the dream that you hold for yourself? It is never to late to pursue it. Today, take the first step toward meeting the goal. Then take it one day at a time. You are still that dream.

Webb
