Of One Plant

Emerging from the deep rich soil, humanity reaches toward the sky.
Planted in the earth,
we reach upward toward the One, who creates us in their image.

Rain and sunshine,
nourish us on our journey.
Growing as one vine,
we are many branches
but of one plant.

The breeze blows life,
and the gardener prunes,
that together we might,
bear fruit that glorifies the One.

Together.
Together. 

As one, let us worship.
Amen.

Tim is a runner, a hiker, a devoted husband, a father of two adult children, and their spouses, and a grandfather of four perfect children. A former early childhood educator, Tim is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served as pastor of both Disciples and United Church of Christ congregations. As we enter what we hope is the final phase of the pandemic, Tim is beginning a journey of rediscovering himself and discerning next steps. He writes from his home in Albany, Oregon and wherever the Spirit lures him.
