This week's sermon , preached by Margaret McGee, dealt with the infamous and disturbing story of Abraham and Isaac. It contained the necessary elements that make for great stories - violence and steamy romance....You'll have to read it to understand the implications hinted at here :)
Margaret heard the voice of a prophet in the form of her doctor. Who are the prophets in my life? And yours? And do we want to listen to their unwelcome words?

I wasn't in town to hear Margaret deliver this homily, but I find the text challenging and moving. It's a two-way street with God. Many will insist that God does too know what we'll do before we do it. And maybe in a way we can't understand he does comprehend all of time, and thus "know" where we'll come out. But I'm with Margaret here - he waits on my choices and they matter in how he gets his word and his love to me. I do NOT agree with Rumi's thoughts, however. Click on the link to "In the Courtyard" and look at my haiku this month to see why.
