The GOOD News:For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL.
THE whole chebang IN A NUTSHELL
"‘Love the Lordyour God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
"And she gave birth to her first born son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."
HOME - a perspective! Home is a special space. Love resides there. The best journeys take you there. Hope lives there. Home leaves no question about belonging. Friends belong there. Dreams thrive there. Home is a place of forgiveness. There is no rejection there. Home is a place of rest and recuperation and rejuvenation. There is laughter there. Life takes you to unexpected places; love brings you home. At home you are free to flourish. It is where you birthed your wings. Sing your way home, absorbing the magnificence of being, for we reside on-the-go through spaces replete with viruses and bacteria: some are villains and some are monsters. Monsters breed. You are ever in the scatter of villains. Be prepared: find your rhythm, stay in balance, keep your values and your vision in focus. Recalibrate. Regenerate. Choose your friends wisely. Choose folks who are good for your mental, emotional and physical well-being. Allow your beauty to reflect the light you let in. Your intellect is yours. Be all of you, going and coming. Enjoy the fullness of the sacred space that is yours - HOME. Replenish yourself there. Fill your cup. Full. Let it overflow. Have a dish below. Be still. Burst forth. Like a spring of living water! Ever grateful. Share. Rich in love.

The Walk
Nicolette Sowder
"Give me the wild children with their bare feet and sparkling eyes. The restless, churning climbers. The wild ones using their outside voices, singing all the way home. Give me the wonder-filled, glorious mess makers dreaming of mountains and mud, aching to run through a field of stars."
FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Bishop Gene Robinson
"It's funny isn't it? That you can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry God and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a God that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind . . . and you are in trouble."
Desmond Tutu
"You may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.."
Salt of The Soil
SAND is not SALT
Feasting on silt to feed the soul is neither redemptive nor resourceful.
BE STILL. BREATHE. BE AWARE. BREATHE. BE GRATEFUL.
Dear God, grant me victory today over all that assails. Help me square up to even the greatest challenges and claim authority over them, unafraid. Amen.
