Love

One can hope.

Chaos gets press; love doesn’t.

I don’t care what newsfeed you look at. The world is NOT all doom and gloom. You won’t find love on the computer or TV, but you will find it in the street and in common, ordinary people who, when you get to know them, are uncommon and extraordinary.

I keep saying it, when it comes down to what really counts, all we have are ourselves and each other.

Miracles are where you find them.

What Dreams May Come

“Where do we go from here? Chaos or community?” is a quote from Dr. King.

Profound.

I had the great honor of meeting Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He seemed larger than his diminutive size. There was a peaceful calm surrounding him. Then he proceeded to tell me a funny joke with twinkle in his eyes. He truly lived with the Holy Spirit within him.

this gives me hopeful tears

What a delightful comic! We need more of these.

from your mouth to God’s ear. bless you for your work. and thank you for the encouragement you give in these times of challenge.
