I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Lent 23 - unlikely heroes
From the very beginning, God is able to use
unlikely figures, and in one
way or another, they are always unable, inept,
unprepared, and incapable.
Richard
Rohr
When I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians
12:10)

the Sacred always works
with the material at hand
farmer
poet
child
the tone deaf
the one who insists
“I just can’t speak in front of people”
the accountant
the bookkeeper
the machinist
yes
even the “preacher”
unlikely heroes of the faith
who because
they simply love God
and love others
touch hearts
feed the hungry
comfort the lonely
and heal souls
