1.28.18 Service: "Everyone a Butterfly" (Rev. Tom Schmidt) *Audio File*

 The transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly has long been used as a metaphor for human spiritual development, and appropriately so. Teachers and parents are wont to catching caterpillars and placing them in jars or other appropriate see-through container to show children the awe-inspiring process yet the real magic remains invisible to us. What we don’t see is that the process is actually quite messy and that is real lesson we need to learn. What looks like magic and mystery from the outside is chaotic and quite messy on the inside.  ​
