Tuesday, the election of a president

                         Based on the 

                         Tuesday Collect

O God of 

vulnerability 

and love,to
know you is 

eternal life 

&to serve you 
is prefect freedom.                      

A Summer Sunday

                                            Psalm 24:1 

The 

earth 

is the 

Lord’s 

& all  

that is in it; 

the world and all who dwell therein. 

Noon on Good Friday

 by his wounds we are healed  

Absorbing the fear and hate 

of thousands of years,

  I clothed myself in flesh 

  and vulnerability

And came back to my plundered home.

I walked among those whose pain I had 

   shouldered from the beginning of time,

The cast off and thrown away.

I took the leper into my arms.

In my eyes the used 

  and exploited found their humanity 

  reflected back to them.

Wednesday morning
