importance) with one’s doctor and
one’s family. She cited several

What would it say about distri

Seeing all the earth as God’s holy
ground raises some very complex
issues -- ones that may make us feel
uncomfortable. Ones that may
make us feel overwhelmed. Like
Moses we may protest loudly. Who
are we that we should do some

anything?
ButGodeverreminds us “I have
seen the affliction of my people. I
know their sufferings, and I have
come down to deliver them.’’ We
are called to be leaders. And even
as God made a great leader out of a
relunctant Moses so God can
transform our unwillingness and
hesitancy into a strong commit
ment to serve. Our Christian faith
demands more than an hour or two
of worship on Sunday. We are
invited to serve our God in the
midst of how we live out our lives.
