Sermon for Pentecost 6C

Forward!

Last Sunday after worship and the closing session of my class, I was free of any obligations. We had the rest of the day free. We had reservations that evening at a hotel in Madison, WI, but there was plenty of day left before we had to check in. So we headed in the opposite direction, into downtown to visit the Art Institute of Chicago and to see what else we could find in that area.

As we set out, you might say, we had more of a rough outline of where were going than we had plans and itinerary. Stefeny and I seem to work best that way. We know roughly where we want to go and what we would like to do, but we often stumble into some wonderful discoveries, too. I am a bit of wanderer, I guess, and at the end, we discover the journey itself was just as much fun as what we experienced at our destination. But there’s a danger in that though. We still had to get where we were going. We couldn’t wander off too much or get lost.
