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

Wednesday in the Fifth Week of Lent

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching -- St. Francis of Assisi

I don't think St. Francis is just talking about just Priest and Ministers in the above. His message has meaning for us all.I think we all know someone who doesn't just "talk a good game." He or she embodies our view of what is good and right in the world. People who met Mother Theresa and Ghandi don't talk about their words, they talk about how they led their lives. As we approach the end of Lent and prepare for Holy Week we have been fasting, praying, and meditating, some better than others. ( I am one of those others).

We are beginning to walk.
