Thank you for spending time with me this morning and being brave enough to listen to me for the next few minutes reflecting on this Sunday’s readings. Trust me Sr Phyllis, Fr Jerry, and Leif are hard acts to follow.

I have often heard from friends is that it would be easier to speak in front of an audience than to sing in front of an audience. I am the opposite with music you count the beat know where to start and where to end it’s right there in front of you. Seriously friends here at St Charles, we all have something to say, and we all learn from each other.

​Sometimes miracles happen, and when we notice them we respond with thank you God, or as Peter did, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”  Both responses acknowledge the goodness of God and our awareness that we have more growing to do to realize that God acts for our good and God is always with us.
