daily thoughts on the common lectionary

Location: Sharpsburg, Georgia, United States

"...because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together — by trade they were tentmakers." Acts 18:3. Tentmaker is a title taken by bi-vocational pastors. As such, I am both a pastor and a project manager. I am a pastor of a local congregation of moderate, accepting and affirming people who worship in the Baptist tradition. We call our church "Hope Memorial Baptist" and we are about 40 in number. I am also a project manager of major construction projects for the State of Georgia. My home and church is in rural Coweta County, between Peachtree City and Newnan, with a mailing address of Sharpsburg, Georgia.

Liturgy of the Word:
1 Samuel 3:1-10
Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18
1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Today, I'm thinking about the passage in 1 Samuel.
The word of the Lord was rare in that day.
