I think, at the end of days,
I will see how things were for you,
and you for me.
Then anything not yet forgiven
will be forgiven.
We will love and be loved,
the way we always wanted.
That, I think, is our future.
Let’s go there together.
Grace and peace to us all…

Glory is a thing
or some thing
that shines
or makes things shine
just because
of what it is
or what it finds in them
Kind of like Love
maybe
if the love is of the right kind
like the kind that doesn’t separate
Like the kind that says,
Don’t be afraid
You’re good
There you go
Shining
as though you were my Beloved
or something
Like the Light of the world
or something
Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The thing about trust
dw Copyright © 2022
If I don’t have yours
I can’t earn it
No single deed
Or lifetime of deeds
Will do
Not even Jesus Christ
Can earn my trust
Or yours
Unless he already has it
Grace and peace to you…

O God, deliver us from the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, because the sin of the world is our heart’s desire, our uniform, our derby hat. O Lamb of God, have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us.
Frederick Buechner, Secrets in the Dark: A Life in Sermons, “Air for Two Voices”
Unpopular, this.
Too often too true.
After we do our God thing
(or not)
And get down to the business
Of doing Our thing
God doesn’t have a ticket,
The bouncer at the door explaining
It’s sold out.
Grace and peace to us all…

Praying for Ukraine
