You're going to be in Matthew 6 today. So if you have Bibles and you want to turn there, just so you know, Matthew 6. As far as that goes, some of us wonder, at this point, in human history, do we need to bring an analog Bible to church? Really, you don't because it's on your phone. And I totally get that. But for a long time, I've only read digitally. And a lot of people in my life are like, you know what? You need to open a book. And I began doing that. And I don't know, there is something different about it. So your mileage may vary, and there's really no right or wrong to it. I've just been opening books of late. One of the things, over the summer, we had this series, Be the Read. And we kind of ended on sort of an overarching vision that God is going to win, all shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. It's a quote from Julian of Norwich, who was a medieval sort of mystic. And she came up with her, God gave her that. It was a vision. While she was in extreme duress, right? She was 30 years old. She was on her deathbed. It turns out that she was healed, but she thought she was going to die. But in the middle of that, in the middle of that, she had this overwhelming sense of the presence of God, all shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of thing shall be well. And one of the things that we were like is, hey, wouldn't it be amazing if we could rest in that? If we could live our daily life, our everyday, as all the things come up around us, if we could have that grounding us, making us, settling us, as it were, into that truth, how much that might change our lives and how much we might become, as we said, the read. We would be able to go with God and not resist where God is at. I mentioned, there's a, the song, it is well, if you've heard it, it's a hymn, it is well, it is well with my soul, that hymn was written while the man who wrote it, he was sailing from a Great Britain to the United States.
