Good Morning, God,
The headlines speak of something that went "boom" up in Indianapolis and turned a neighborhood into what resembles a war zone. Two houses gone, many more so damaged that they may have to be torn down, families displaced and two people dead, from a cause as yet unknown. A natural gas explosion is suspected, but the tell-tale smell of natural gas was not sniffed. Thus, it is a mystery.
Lord God, we face all sorts of mysteries in our lives, mysteries as huge as the origin of the universe, mysteries as puzzling as how each person is unique from all other persons, mysteries as problematic as how we make both the good and bad decisions with the same brain, mysteries as unprovable as what happens when we die.
Your word speaks of mysteries, Lord. Your word speaks that even if we have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if we have a faith that can even move mountains, but do not have love, we are nothing."
So, today, Lord, may we love a bit more, praying for the blast victims in Indy, and loving just a little bit more those here around us today.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
