Two kinds of crazy.


There are two kinds of crazy people in the world.

The kind of crazy people
who invite fifteen kids to their house
on a Saturday night to watch a movie...

And,

the kind of crazy people

who invite fifteen kids to their house on a Saturday night

to watch a movie

and don't remember
until 45 minutes beforehand
that they
don't
own
a TV.




Thankful for neighborhood dads with portable flat screens

and really, really good senses of humor.





 (Side note, Up is my new favorite movie.)

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.
