You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you
shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
That can happen sometimes, can't it? I hope we will be so close to Christ that we will catch his
dream.
(Leviticus 19:18
NRSV)
A few years back there was a movie titled, TUCKER. It was a 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."
God of vision, help me to catch Christ's dream of being close to you and sharing your great love.
Amen.
