Daily Lectionary Readings for Year B

Proverbs are short, wise, thoughtful sayings.  The proverbs are lived experiences passed down so that others might understand how to live a peaceful life.  This morning's reading from Proverbs has some helpful words of advice:

• The righteous know the needs of their animals,
      but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
• From the fruit of the mouth one is filled with good things,
      and manual labor has its reward.
• Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
      but those who counsel peace have joy.

I also like this proverb from author Madeleine L’Engle, "A good laugh heals a lot of hurts."

Are you getting your recording ready to send in for our Variety Show?  Our online Variety Show will be Tuesday, February 16 at 7 pm.  Send me your video by February 14, a week from Sunday.  It can be anything!  Whistle if you can.  Or send a video of you learning how to whistle if you can't.  Reenact a story from the Bible with costumes you find in your closet.  Dance to your favorite song.  Show us how you cut an onion.  Teach us how to fold a sheet.  Anything...  It's on video so you can take as many takes as you want before you send it in.  (By the way, usually holding your phone horizontally helps the video when shown on a larger screen, but send anything you have and I'll include it.)  This is not limited to members of Wesley Park so please extend the invitation.

A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.  Indeed.
