Law of the Excluded Middle

We know of spiritual truths:
God and eternity, salvation and redemption.

We know of natural laws:
Seeds sprout, yeast rises, babies gestate.

But we don’t often remember the uncertain middle:
Will this seed sprout?
Will this loaf rise?
Will this baby live?

Celtic Christians had prayers for daily life:
Morning and night,
Fire building and fire banking,
Bread making,
Child raising.

We live our lives in the uncertain middle.
We could remember to pray more.
