And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
Heaven help us. The world is filled with Alfies--just waiting for someone to bring good news
into their lives. And, friends, we are those charged with that responsibility.
(Romans 10.15
NRSV)
There is a story about an English gentleman named Alfie. Alfie could do nothing right. He
bungled everything he ever touched. One day in a moment of deep despair and desperation,
he tried to take his own life. He failed at that, too. While he was in the hospital, a friend came
to visit. The friend asked, "Alfie, why did you do it?" And Alfie responded, "Because there is no
good news anywhere. There just can't be any good news anywhere. Because, if there was,
surely someone would have come running to me to share it with me."
Loving God, help me to proclaim your good news. Amen.
