Evening: Psalm 44; John 2:1-12
Have
you heard of entrepreneurs who patent plants as if they themselves had
created them? We want so much to survive our own deaths, we even take
credit for what is God’s! Perhaps we think renown will immortalize us.
But Jesus brings God into closer relationship with us. And death, set
alongside the power of the Cosmos, is shown to be powerless. When Jesus
changes water into wine, and they tell him, ‘you saved the best for
last,’ you can’t help feeling the miracle is about a much bigger party
than a wedding in a little village called Cana!
While working out at the 'Y' today, Bruce Cockburn's song "The Cry of a Tiny Babe" came up in my music player.

These words seemed especially apropos ...
"Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe"
Mystery beyond comprehension!
