How many geese does it take to cross the road? Um…at least seven. So that’s why the car stopped ahead of me on Murray Hill Road this morning. It looked clear. Then one goose…followed by another…and another…then four more in a straight line. They came from the athletic field toward the B-U Engineering building. Still more had gathered on the field, not yet ready to make their move. Didn’t geese used to fly south for winter? Not so much anymore.
John and Paul have been so busy these last few weeks moving the dead leaves off the grass around the church grounds. Looks nice and green. But a couple trees didn’t get the memo. They’re still holding on. Wondering if they want to stay through the cold until next spring brings green leaves.
I’ve been thinking about today’s Gospel from Luke. It’s about the blind beggar told to be silent as he calls out as Jesus is walking by in Jericho. He’s not giving up—holding his place. Not unlike some geese or leaves that persist around us.
“Lord, please let me see.”
Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.”
He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God.
When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God. Luke 18:41-43
