DENNIS Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever just sat down and watched the birds fly around? It’s fascinating how an entire flock will somehow all fly together and in the same direction. Even more interesting is how geese 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 their 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 not as oriented as animals. We allow anger to dictated our sense of community. 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 those broken relationships and help each other. I invite you to come and be reunited with community as we journey together.
