14th Sunday After Pentecost 2025

I think we all can appreciate a good lost and found story. And I am sure that every one of you has such a one to tell. When it comes to such stories, Leslie and I usually have quite different attitudes concerning a lost item, whether it be sunglasses, an unmatched sock, a cap, or whatever. She is usually more relaxed than I am. “It will eventually turn up,” is her motto. … Well, that got put to the test some years ago when the lost item was our first cordless, battery operated, phone. That dates us, doesn’t it! Evidently the battery was dead so trying to ring the number did not help. A diligent search of everywhereimaginable, including a brush pile outside, proved futile. We had given up until weeks later when stocking the linen closet the phone was discovered atop a pile of folded sheets.
