    The Care and Feeding of A Candle

    ent area of the sanctuary. Then I became aware that he was not the only one out of his assigned seat! JoAnn Seamans was sitting clear on the opposite side from where she usually sits. And there were others too! As we were passing the peace of Christ I remarked to Wilma and Maynard Human, who had also changed seats, How in the world am I supposed to take attendance now!? We chuckled together. I remember the movie Dead Poets Society when the teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), invites his students to stand on top of their desks to get a different perspective. It becomes, later in the movie, a powerful expression of what the students learned from their teacher. There are many places in the Bible where we are invited to shift perspectives a bit and look at things in a new way. Jesus uses parables that challenge and confront us. Even some Bible study methods invite us to place ourselves in the perspective of different people in the story. Thank you, 9:00 service folk, for new perspectives and for the chuckles on Sunday morning! Keep it up and we shall all smile together. Shalom, Pastor Owen
