A Thud and a Squish by Raymond A. Foss
The pastor had them enthralled, And us too, describing the Shaping of each of us, Using the words of the prophet And more visceral, more childish language To inform the congregation Of the love, the constant love Of the potter for each creation, For the loving correction, the loving Restarting of the vessel, The renewing of the malleable clay Into something useful, wonderful Beautiful to the potter.
September 9, 2007 Based on Jeremiah 18:1-11 and the sermon, “The Potter and the Clay”, by the Reverend Peter Hey, Wesley United Methodist Church, Concord, NH 09/09/07
