It was a foggy night last night. I found I was enjoying looking at all the various street lights as they interacted with the fog. I got to thinking that they are like Christians. They light the fog of this world in various ways, some brightly, some diffusely, some are like flood lights and some like fireflys.

thoughts during the offering

Sundays that I work are always difficult. I get off a 12 hour midnight shift, and have to stay up for church. Today we had the Lord's supper, and I often get asked to help serve. I tried to avoid it by not sitting on the end of the row. Didn't work. I always seem to have an adventure when I am assisting with the Lord's supper or taking up the offering, and this was no different. At one point I ended up with three of the 4 offering plates! It was so strange. I've rarely had such a bad time of it. I was thinking about it on my way in to work tonight. There wouldn't have been such a problem if people would have moved in and filled up the pews. Instead there were many pews with one person on one end, and one on the other, or one in the middle and no one on the ends. Maybe they were sitting that way because that was where God placed them in the church, and the empty places are the gaps made by those who don't come for whatever reason, or those who will come. When the members of the church are scattered about it makes it hard for the body to function and some get caught juggling 3 "offering plates".
