The week after t...Thank you for this, Bishop Peggy! The week after that fateful day in 2001 we call "9/11," I had the doors of our church open for people to come and pray in the sanctuary. Over the back field of our church strode a tall man holding the hand of a young girl, both of them dreadlocked and smiling. I showed them to the sanctuary and offered devotional materials. On their way out, I introduced myself, and he introduced himself and his daughter. "Hi," he said, "I'm Bobby McFerrin." He and his family had moved temporarily into our neighborhood a few weeks before. Bobby and his family were in worship the following Sunday, and of course, I dreamed of him joining our choir! That did not happen, but his presence, and remembering the words to that song, was a sign given to me that God was still in control of God's creation. Don't worry, be happy, for God is still with us!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617065152999912405noreply@blogger.com
