Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
I believe God wants us to get so close to him that we catch his dreams.
(Joel 2:28
NRSV)
A few years back there was a movie titled, TUCKER. It's the story of a man who tried to fight the
Detroit automobile industry by attempting to introduce a car named after himself. In one scene,
Tucker is talking about how his mother came from the old country. She was Italian and had a very
heavy accent. Tucker remembered that for years when he was young she said to him, "Don't get
too close to people, you'll catch their dreams." What she was really saying in broken English was,
"Don't get too close to people, you'll catch their germs." But Tucker grew up thinking she was
telling him, "Don't get too close to people or you'll catch their dreams."
Dear God, draw me close to you and your dreams of love, hope and peace. Amen.
