Puppies

Pastor Steve Eulberg led worship at Lutheran Campus Ministry tonight because Pastor Connie (his wife) is in Columbus. He made an off-the-cuff remark that struck me as sweet, though:
"Jesus is always pointing at God, and we're like puppies - always sniffing around at his finger and never looking at where that finger is pointing."

The closing song tonight was a Central American hymn. We sung it in Spanish, naturally, and I thought the words were beautiful:
Enviado soy de Dios, mi mano lista está para construir con él un mundo fraternal.
(The Lord now sends us forth with hands to serve and give, to make of all the earth a better place to live.)
Los ángeles no son enviados a cambiar un mundo de dolor por un mundo mejor;
(The angels are not sent into our world of pain to do what we were meant to do in Jesus' name;)
Me ha tocado a mí hacerlo realidad.
(That falls to you and me and all who are made free.)
Ayúdame, Señor, a hacer tu voluntad.
(Help us, O Lord, we pray, to do your will today.)
