Revised Common Lectionary Reflection for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, August 6, 2017
In this week’s gospel lesson, Jesus instructs his disciples to give the crowd something to eat. All they see is scarcity and an impossible situation. Jesus sees and makes abundance. What do you see? God’s abundance is all around, and we are invited to share in it. Are you ready to feed and be fed? Come to the table! (Photo: hoyasmeg, Creative Commons)

Going through chaos into unknown and/or hostile territory makes for some fine drama, unless of course you are the one who is experiencing it.
