Pastor's Corner March 30, 2008

Global visitors at the Crystal Cathedral are not all humans. We always have the annual springtime visit from our duck friends. They march around campus, making friends with our two legged guests and build community for themselves on our beautiful lawns and in the water ponds.
These two seem to be taking time to enjoy the ‘Walk of Faith’ in the background. I always wonder what kind of faith it takes for a duck to leave their nesting homes and later to start out from faraway places to return to the ponds of their birth. Oh, that we should be more like them in our ‘walk of faith’, as we trust our loving heavenly Father to guide us homeward, heaven bound, one day, one step at a time.

And so, as sunset comes to the Crystal Cathedral this Sunday evening, I would ask the LORD for you that your faith be strong to follow the Father wherever He may lead you this week and that your walk be as peaceful as the walk of our two friends, the ducks.

Sunset blessings,
Pastor Muffin

On Sunday last, I watched a visitor take a close-up picture of a beautiful Easter lily, one of many decorating the Crystal Cathedral campus for this Easter season. We took one for you to enjoy today, in real time.

I noticed in the background, the statute of the prodigal son and was touched with this thought: Many people will come to and or return to the Father’s love this weekend as we hear again the message of Easter and the resurrection story. What a complimentary place for an Easter lily.

Hold this thought of hope as we participate in Holy Week: In a dark Friday world, Sundays coming!

Just keeping in Easter touch,

It is Sunday sunset at the Crystal Cathedral. I have been praying for our Global Community this afternoon and thought that it might be well if I communicated my prayers to you via our Global Community blog site. Also, you will find at the end a ‘comment’ choice and I want you to know that I would love to hear from you.

LORD,
As I correspond with so many of our Global Community, it is my privilege to share their concerns about life, their joy of living and their praise of your greatness. Wherever our journey of faith takes us, allow us to feel the bond of your love and the embrace of those of like precious faith.

If there is one that needs a healing, heal them at the point of their need. If there is one that needs a job or finances or provision, meet those needs for creature comforts. If one is discouraged, depressed, or cast-down, be their encourager and grant to them your peace. I ask in the mighty name of Jesus.
