Opening Smudge
Lao Tzu # 53 Mitchell translation followed by 5 minutes of silence
If I had any learning of a highway wide and fit, would I lose it at each turning?
Yet look at people spurning natural use of it!
See how fine the palaces and see how poor the farms, how bare the peasants’ granaries.
While gentry wear embroideries hiding sharpened arms, and the more they have the more they seize,
How can there be such people as these who never hunger, never thirst, yet eat and drink until they burst!
There are other brigands, but these are the worst of all the highway’s harms.
Welcome, Announcements & Offering
Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-5 read by Janet Court
Ho! All who thirst, go to water, and whoever has no money, go, buy and eat, and go, buy without money and without a price, wine and milk. Why should you weigh out money without bread and your toil without satiety?
Hearken to Me and eat what is good, and your soul shall delight in fatness. Incline your ear and come to Me, hearken and your soul shall live, and I will make for you an everlasting covenant, the dependable mercies of David.
Behold, a witness to nations have I appointed him, a ruler and a commander of nations. Behold, a nation you do not know you shall call, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, for the sake of the Lord your God and for the Holy One of Israel, for He glorified you.
