It is an illustration of what the stewardship of our lives for God's sake is all about. And I tell you with awe and admiration that people within this congregation, on a day by day basis, continue to inspire and humble me with incredible capacity to serve as the eye at the center of the hurricane. This will embarrass her, I know, but it is one reason we chose Catherine Dauber to speak as our Partner in Christ this morning. And, yes, thank God for the number of you doing unnamed and silent kindnesses for one another, for people you do not know, people you will never meet, people in need. Just as our sharing this common meal, our eating and drinking together, show our solidarity and ties to one another in Christ, the action of breaking the bread and pouring the wine illustrates the kind of life we have been describing.
Love can be dangerous amid the hurricane world.
Love can break and bleed us.
