Prayer: Lord, as you sit in the heavens and laugh, may we remember to laugh too. Amen
Reading: Psalm 2 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: This past January we invited twenty-five Community Chorus members for a Post-Christmas Party. Would I have enough cookies? Do I have enough chairs? Suppose everyone brought their spouse? Then there would be twice as many people? On another occasion, we planned a Valentine’s Day Party. There was a blizzard! "He who sits in the heavens laughs." (v. 4a) Or, as one saying goes, "Man makes plans. God laughs”. By the way, the Post-Christmas Chorus Party was a success despite not quite enough chairs for everyone. Some of the men stood. In the kitchen. Near the cookie trays. And there was plenty of laughter. -- Alice Yeakel
