My room has a little porch, with a chair on it. A perfect prayer chair looking up into the mountains. I am having a moment of silence before opening Eucharist. I was reading over the worship bulletin for our time together this afternoon and evening and must share:
"In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Many people shall come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Isaiah 2:2-4
I couldn't think of a more perfect setting for a more wonderful reading. And this afternoon it will be read in Tagalog, a language of the Philippines.
There is so much opportunity this weekend and I want to share it all. I plan to blog and I started a twitter account this morning. I have never twittered before but can't think of a better time to dip my toes into that water. More and more I am of the opinion what is the point of social media if not to share the Word of God. And what better way to start than sharing my experience in learning about God's mission?
