So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out
of my mouth.
Buscalgia reflected upon what he saw: "I couldn't help thinking to myself, what would you do,
Buscalgia, if the monsoon came to Los Angeles next week? What would you take? Your color
TV set? Your automobile? The only thing you have to take is you."
And that is all God wants, you!
(Revelation 3:16
NRSV)
Leo Buscalgia tells of an experience he had in Cambodia years ago. He noticed that during
monsoon season the people's way of life changed. The great rains washed away their houses, so
the people lived on great communal rafts, several families together. Buscalgia writes: "I went
down there on a bicycle and there they were. I thought I'd help these people move and become
part of their community. The Frenchwoman whom I was talking with just laughed. `What do they
have to move?' she asked. `Nature has taught them the only thing they have is from the top of
their head to the bottom of their feet. Themselves, not things. They can't collect things because
every year the monsoon comes.'"
God of peace, help me to fully give myself to you. Amen.
