Getting it done - taking care of business....


Interesting weekend - talked to a retired businessman who knew another independently wealthy businessman who could not return to his $8,000,000 home when his wife died, went to stay with his son - all the stuff but....

Also spent Sunday with the Norval United Church congregation as their minister was ordained and feted on Sunday. The fete was held by a lady of wealth, who while recently bereaved has found community in church and is finding ways of sharing her resources with others.

Love, courage and wisdom are required. Very happy to celebrate Sunday with my brother Paul on the occasion of his ordination. Great to be part of his "love-in" at the church and reception and the love-in for God, community and things spiritual which was at the root of it all.

Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier.
Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual.
But the one who has love, courage, and wisdom moves the world.

Good to see the body of Christ in action - I rejoice in it!
