we're so bffl.


This conversation tonight made me so happy:

"That reminds me of this thing I read the other day in my study Bible-
oh, I told you about it right?"

"I don't think so..."

"Yeah, my new study Bible! I definitely told you about it.
Your friend's one of the writers."

"My friend? Who?!"

"You know. Your friend. Uhh... what's his name? Your dead friend."

"...Henri Nouwen?"

"Yeah! It has things by him in it."

-with Matt.

I'm glad that Henri Nouwen is thought of as my friend.
(And that I somehow knew who he was referring to?!)

(Stop what you're doing and go buy a copy of Life of the Beloved... right now.)

Hahaha! I'm jealous of your friendship with Henri Nouwen.

Also, The Inner Voice of Love is so superior to Life of the Beloved. Jus' sayin'.

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
