Moleskine:
My family celebrated my grandpa’s 100th birthday a couple weeks ago. It was a really special time, and we heard stories of my grandpa’s impact from my dad, aunt, uncles, members of my grandma and grandpas old church, and members of their current assisted living community.

No accolades or accomplishments were mentioned. Instead, everyone talked about my grandpa’s love for others and his consistency.

– He’s been married for 70 years
– Helped raise 4 kids
– Served faithfully at the same church for 60 years
– Is beloved by his current community he’s been with for the past 4 years

We’re going to be remembered most by our love and steadfastness. Commit to loving and serving others in your life over the long haul. Be a steady and consistent rock for them.

COT:
– Hershey’s brother-in-law’s surgery
– All the PAX running in the 50 miler this weekend

Moleskine:
Tomorrow is mole day. In chemistry a mole is a quantity. It is simply 6.02×10^23 of something. In layman’s terms, it is roughly a trillion trillion. Moles are useful for very small things.
Atoms are small. 22 pre-1982 pennies contain a mole of copper atoms. Molecules are small. A tablespoon of water is a mole of water molecules.
Cells are not small. A mole of cells is about every human cell on this planet right now. Sand is not small. There are about a mole of grains of sand on earth. Stars are not small. There are a mole of stars in the universe.

There are 10 trillion (!!!) times fewer than a moles of humans to have ever walked on earth. We are both small and large, small in number and yet the most significant thing in of all creation. It is important for us to keep perspective of our power and our powerlessness.

In Genesis, God told Abraham that he would give him a mole of descendants (Genesis 22:17, BSV). In this promise we see both our smallness and largeness.

COT: Chippy’s 2.0, the fall 50, Tortuga’s brother and family.

COT: Prayer read aloud:

A World of Beauty and Love Is Coming

Spirit of Life, love which holds us,
We gather in reverence and thanks for You.
We are grateful for the gift of another breath,
and for each moment of connection, beauty, and truth.
Cry with us in our pain for our world.
Remind us that we are loved, just as we are.
Remind us that we are connected with all that is.
Remind us that we do not journey alone.
Give us what we need for today.
Call us back to our promises, commitments, and values.
Help us love ourselves and each other,
And to show that love in our actions.
Make us instruments of justice, equity, and compassion.
Free us from all that is evil.
We declare that life and love are stronger than tyranny and fear, That a world of beauty and love is coming,
And we must shape it together.
May it be so. Amen.
