Short answer: We listen to the people entrusted to our care. Sometime we choose these people and sometimes they roll in like tumbleweeds.
Discussion Questions:
1. Who are the people entrusted to your care? As an individual? As a congregation?
2. What do you think of the rich, young lawyer’s question, “Do you mean that I should care about my workers’ personal life?”
3. Can you think of a time when a tumbleweed rolled into your life?
