From the Pastor’s Desk 
October 2007

May you find your way in peace . . . sounds like the title to a serenity poem or song, or possibly a pastoral blessing during morning worship.  It could also be a person searching and striving for the kingdom of God .  I believe finding peace in life has less to do with the circumstances of life surrounding us, and more to do with our inner life.  Take time to routinely search your soul and open your heart to the spirit of God.  Do you know what a mustard seed looks like?  I plan to bring one to church soon for a children’s circle illustration.  It is very small.  Smaller than the point of a ballpoint pen.  It is easy to overlook if your not looking at it or for it.  Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed.  “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what should I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches” (Luke 13:18 ,19).  Finding peace in our life means attaching our life to the kingdom of God .  The kingdom of God , like the mustard seed, is easily overlooked if we don’t open up spiritually and see through our eyes of faith.   What a revelation it is to know that something so small and easily missed has the growth potential to become our dwelling place.  May you find your way in

peace . . . and know that the blessings of God abound like the trees of the field and the birds of the air.
