Good Morning, God
Lord, it behooves us to be able to laugh at ourselves, even when we are dealing with serious things. A case in point, Lord, was the headline that said that there is now an app (or “application”) on our I-phones where we can see ourselves in the various clothing of different religions. For example, some may see themselves in a nun’s habit; some in a black pulpit robe; some in priestly garb complete with the headdress; some in a fancy three-piece suit with handkerchief in the pocket.
The app, called “Ordain Thyself” doesn’t confer any religious credentials, but merely lets a person see themselves as a religious worker. Some of us, who have the ordinations that take an undergraduate degree and a seminary degree and rigorous ordination exams, and then a church that wants us, may be offended by the humor in this.
But, Lord, what if through this you would speak to a person you really want as an ordained worker for you? We know that you do have a sense of humor and that you use many means to touch our lives. Perhaps this app is one.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
