It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. Pews on the main floor at Hometown Friends Church are fairly well filled considering this is the last weekend before the Labor Day weekend. It’s cooler in the mountains or at the beach.

We’re invited to compare our story with God’s story. When we align ourselves with God’s good purposes in the world we begin to see God at work in new places and in new ways. I'm not sure I know how to objectively examine my life to find the places where my story and God's story don't align.
