What does it mean to be rooted? It is all too easy to feel blown about by the wind, or current events, or the ever changing weather forecast. To get caught up in to-do lists, calendars, and deadlines. But this morning, we heard two separate scriptures - Jeremiah and the Psalm - proclaim blessing on trees planted near flowing water. Rooted in a place where the sustenance they consistently receive allows them to grow bright green leaves and produce fruit no matter the conditions.
