Minister's Musings

Friends,

As we continue our adventures with Ruth and Naomi, we hear about taking chances and being brave. Sometimes, we think of bravery as the exclusive domain of large muscly superheroes who run into danger. The reality is that we are all brave from time to time: when we go to a job interview feeling nervous, when we face a difficult diagnosis, when we confront a friend over bad behaviour, when we come out to our families and friends

Sometimes we can’t move unless we are brave. Leaving home to find work in another place might be an example of this. Last week, I talked about the Book of Ruth being a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Really, we do amazing things all the time. We just don’t think of them that way. Imagine if we were always loyal, always generous, always brave. How would your world be different?

Fearlessly, Rev. Kirsty
