Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Priorities

“In all creatures you may see, and honor God. If you do not 
do this the whole world will rise against you,”
Francis of Assisi 
 
________________________________________________
 
 
 It is all a matter of priorities
A matter of
what
to us
is important

our priorities show
in how we spend ourtime
how we behave toward others

as a Senator
or Congress person
priorities show
in how one votes
or what kind of budget one proproses

as a boss my priorities show
in how I treat
those wonderful
and amazing people who work in 
the program

as a counselor
a pastor
a friend
my priorities show
in whether I attend
focus
listen
care
have compassion

Lord it is easy to think more about
power
and money

than about people

it is sadly easy to forget those who are 
vulnerable
and powerless

but Lord
people are always your priority

especially
those who are hurting
 
help me Lord
this day
to get my priorities straight!
