Tomorrow I go in for knee replacement surgery. While I’m not worried, any major change in life gives one pause for philosophical thoughts. My thought for today is a paraphrase of the Psalms.

“What are human beings that God should give us a second look? We are insignificant balls of dust being blown around like tumbleweeds in a desert until we encounter the Spring of Living Water and become clay in the Potter’s hand. Then we are shaped into vessels to be of use to God.”
