Things unseen

Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
There was a lot of thunder and lightning last night. The ancients thought it was Zeus/Jupiter striking at humanity in anger. Later the Norse thought it was Thor fighting a battle.
In our world seeing is believing. Jesus said to Thomas. "Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe." The unseen things in our lives have a greater effect on us than the seen things. We confess in the Nicene Creed, that God the Father is the creator of all things seen and unseen. The unseen things like, Heaven, Faith, Gravity, Air, The Holy Spirit, unholy spirits, love, all the emotions, pain, our minds/souls, are all unseen. So are, spirit, intellect, fear, joy, God, Jesus, and music.
