SUNDAY SERVICE

Today's first reading, from the Old Testament Book of Amos, sums up the theme for today.  In it, the head holy man in Bethel (and his king) got a little ticked at Amos for preaching and prophesying in his territory - he told him to go back where he came from and leave his people alone.   Amos replied (in essence), "Don't blame me.  I was just a shepherd and farmer.  God told me to do this."

The point is:  God does not call only those 'you might think' to publicly do His work.  Just regular old (and young) farts are asked too. . . people like me and you.
