The hot, "lazy" days of summer are winding down. Even as a say that, I know that for most of us there weren't many "lazy" days this summer and the "hot" will continue. But, ready or not, it is "back to school" time and back to busier schedules and more hectic days for most of us. Before we get inundated with activities, before we find ourselves caught up in the flood of family needs and work issues, I hope we will take a little time to consider the bigger picture. This Sunday we are going to think about God's vision for us and for our world. The prophets of old and more recent sages, have reminded us that the "righteous people" are those who know and are faithful to God's vision.

The best example of that vision, of course, comes in the person of Jesus Christ. His life of love, service and sacrifice demonstrates the way of God's vision. The task for us in our lives is to have our dreams and vision for life align with God's. The decisions we make about our future, the plans we work on, the agendas we live by, these things are to be in line with God's will for us and for creation. Join us this week as Russell and Mr. Frederickson, from the film "Up" help us understand that big dreams and visions are important when they lead us in the right direction.
