"Don't Let the Grass Grow On Your Path"
Proper 12.C.2019
Genesis 18:20-32, Luke 11:1-13
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
Early African converts to Christianity were earnest and regular in their private devotions. It was customary for each individual to have a separate place where they would go to pour out their hearts to God. Over time, the paths to these private places of prayer became well worn. As a result, if one of these believers began to neglect their life of prayer, it was soon apparent to the others. They would kindly remind the negligent one, “Brother/or Sister, the grass grows on your path.”
