May God Bless You With Discomfort

A Franciscan Benediction…
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. 


Like Peter, keep knocking! Acts 12:16

God the Entrepreneur


by Terri Denning Rhodes

God creating out of soil.
God forming out of dust.
Is there anything God doesn't use for His own entrepreneurship?

All used in His timing.
All used good and bad.
So what was marred is now decorated with detail and bling.

All to look its' best,
as seen through the creators' eyes.
God the Entrepreneur
