A sermon by the Rev. I suspect we all have. There are some gifts we do not know how to handle. Now, let me change the subject for a moment. Fire is fascinating.
Little children say they want to grow up to be firefighters.
On a winter's evening, we like building a fire, not just for the warmth, but for the chance to watch it do its work. On a summer's evening in the woods, we enjoy gathering around a campfire, not for the warmth, but for the sheer pleasure of being near it. Fire fascinates us. I wonder what would happen if someone gave you a gift OF fire. Perhaps the early Christians wondered.
