This week's Contemporary Service was given by Peter Buss, a thought-provoking presentation on Rachel & Jacob & Leah. There was a lot for me to ponder as I listened to the tape during dinner tonight.
I tend to
lean heavily on what Peter described as "Rachel truths" - truths that
bring to mind lofty ideals. I shied away
from the less lovely "Leah truths" - those more mundane truths that
help me see what is right in front of my nose, things that need to be done if I
am to make the ideal real.
To me,
love was a beautiful, spiritual ideal and it was my privilege to cherish it.
Now I know that love is first and foremost an action verb. Love is beautiful & spiritual ~ and it
can also be a rough road to hoe, messy, inconvenient and downright
confusing. Love is the fuel & the
spark that makes my ancient world go 'round.
