The 25th Sunday After Pentecost: Got Talent?
"Here is this parable, asking you and I a question: what extravagant gift from God are you holding in your life today? And I’m not talking about how well you dance, or sing, or spit pillows. I am talking about the extravagant ability to love, to risk, to take heart in the face of great challenge, that has God given to you. I am talking about the deep well of forgiveness, or courage, or hope, or faith are you holding in your hands and in your heart today. If anything will turn our world upside down, if there is anything that will give this broken place glimpses of God’s kingdom, it is your willingness to use those gifts. "
