Today we hear three separate parables - one from Ezekiel and two from Jesus.  All remind us how God continues to work on our behalf, often without any knowledge or help from us.  God not only goes before us to prepare the way, but God fans to flame the seed within us that is the Holy Spirit, inviting it to grow though we know not how.  These readings invite us to take a load off of our shoulders and simply be grateful to God for the work God continues to do in our lives and in the world.

Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.  And thank you to you for continuing to break open God's Word alongside of me.  I'm humbled and grateful.  Have a question or comment?  Feel free to send it my way at pdjoezenk@gmail.com
