We live in a society that is really good at avoiding hard truths.  God puts Ezekiel in a valley of dry bones because you can't resurrect when you won't recognize death.  God gives Ezekiel and the exiled people of Israel hope.  Hope is proclaimed in the midst of devastation.  The words are spoken, breath is given, and action follows.  The sermon is based on Ezekiel 37:1-14.
