DENNIS

Hello and Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett with Central
United Methodist Church.

Have you ever watched birds fly?
They all fly together, as they are going in the same
direction. Birds within the flock will often move position in
order to help others or to receive help. Similarly, herds of
mammals, such as cows will stay together. And if danger
comes, they will form a circle in order to protect the young.

Isn’t it interesting that no matter what strife or dissention
may be going on within the herd, they still remain together;
continuing to help each other. Humans, on the other hand,
are all too often dictated by anger. We will strike out in
violence, speak slanderously, and go off living by
ourselves.

Disciples of Jesus Christ are told to live differently. We are
told to be reconciled to our brothers, sisters, and neighbors
before we can correctly serve God. We are to mend broken
relationships as to the best of our ability and allow God to
mysteriously heal open wounds.

There is a heavenly home waiting for you. And I invite you
to come and be reunited, as we journey together.
