I suspect all of our lives are more than a bit wobbly however much we might desire a decent and good order but there it is.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>This morning\u2019s reading (9\/30) from the Daily Lectionary included two food references. Matthew 7:13-21 speaks of gates narrow and wide, false prophets in sheep\u2019s clothing and fruits. Fruits are a key sign of goodness or not-goodness. Jesus is also very clear about what happens to trees that grow bad fruit &#8211; they are cut down and burned. This isn\u2019t the warm and fuzzy Jesus, this is the Jesus who might just turn a bit hard-of-hearing when the Kingdom of God arrives.
