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

Saturday of the Third Week in Lent

You cannot be anything if you want to be everything. -- S. Schecter

There are those who spend their lives trying to be someone they think they want to be. Unfortunately, they usually lose their true selves along the way. God created us --- each individual. We are miraculous unlike any other person who has been or will ever be. You may share things in common with others. You may even try to look or dress like them. Don’t. Listen to the song in your own heart. Let it sing its sweet melody in your ears alone. Then transform it -- through you — into a psalm of thanksgiving. Thank you God for creating me as me. Do something today that is uniquely you, that others cannot own.

P.S.:Will: I want to be an engineer and build lots of cool things when I grow up. Unless God decides that I should be something else, like a waiter or a zookeeper or something.
Jake: God wants me to play sports, that's why he made both of us.
