Today's Headlines for Evening Prayer (Saturday in 17 Trinity)

Slow down and find the eternal - God - in life today, or... life may be wasted, rather than fully embraced...

First Lesson: Job 12:1-10
Job responds to Zophar.  The irony of life, the complexity of truth in the midst of the beauty/simplicity of nature.

Second Lesson: Matthew 13:31-35, 44-52
More signs of the presence of God in life... always!  Getting to understand the kingdom of heaven through five parables - of the (1) mustard seed, (2) leaven, (3) Hidden treasure, (4) pearl, (5) net, and (6) householder.
