Divine Maître d'Création, how hard it is to type "î" and "é" on an English keyboard. About as hard as dining with "Them". Did you have to let them in? Did you have to seat them? Did you have to serve them? (Did you cook for them? Make bread? Pour wine?) Look how the place is empty because folks/diners/eaters disappeared. How about you come and eat with them too? Amen.

“What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management…” Luke 16:2
Owner, Holder, Possessor, You have heard nothing about me. Really. I have managed the best I can with what I have. No thanks to you. All thanks to you. We all hear some strange things about all of them. And they hear some strange things about all of us. Please, account for us and for them so we may balance. Amen.
“Someone in the crowd said to him…” – Luke 12:13
All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Hearing One, Who said it? Always the anonymous one. Again. Looking to gain by stirring up trouble. Too many want their lives their way today - Has this ever not been the case? - and to have it their way, mysterious and unknown, special only to them. Take care, you reply, be on your guard against all kinds of greed. Amen.
“Listen! A sower went out to sow.” – Matthew 13:3
So, God, Ground of All Being, Creator of the path, of rocky earth, of thorns, barbs and bristles, and of the good soil. Scorched, withered and choked seems to be the produce of today farmed from the labor of our hands and mouths. Dare we blame the seed? Ask for new seed? Amen.
