I heard a delightful sermon many years ago that keeps coming to the fore of my mind. It was about "Pillars and Caterpillars." These refers to people in the church. Pillars: Upright, dutiful, faithful, sometimes rigid and resistant to change or new ideas. Caterpillars: Not developed, vulnerable, seldom receive much notice, but possessing enormous potential. In your church, would you say you're more of a pillar or a caterpillar? Peace, Richard

And if you read "Hope for the Flowers", you'll find out about
caterpillar pillars.

Well, I guess I should address my own basenote question. To the occasional chagrin of my spouse, I tend to be more of a pillar than a caterpillar. Sharon knows when I get involved with a church, it won't be long before I'm preaching or teaching or heading up some project. She sometimes wishes I'd just remain anonymous. As far as being rigid, I wouldn't say I'm among the most inflexible of people I've ever met and dealt with in the church. Peace, Richard | |||||
