Evening: Psalm 23, 27; Mark 9:14-29
President Harry Truman, postwar pioneer of international cooperation, said: “It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit.” How easy it is to become conceited and compete with one another.  We see how that only causes isolation and mistrust in the world. Prayer, though, is trusting there is a power greater than my own.  When the Spirit guides me, I pull my weight and also help you carry your load, without keeping a tally. Community is born in our letting go of our egos.
