The Poor Are Not A Problem To Be Solved But A People To Join.

My Job Is Not To Solve People's Problems Or Make Them Happy, But To Help Them See The Grace Operating In Their Lives.

Count Yourself Lucky, How Happy You Must Be - You Get A Fresh Start, Your Slate's Wiped Clean. Count Yourself Lucky - God Holds Nothing Against You And You're Holding Nothing Back From Him.

This Kingdom Of God Life Is Not A Matter Of Waking Up Each Morning With A List Of Chores Or An Agenda To Be Tended To, Left On Our Bedside Table By The Holy Spirit For Us While We Slept. We Wake Up Already Immersed In A Large Story Of Creation And Covenant, Of Israel And Jesus, The Story Of Jesus And The Stories That Jesus Told. We Let Ourselves Be Formed By These Formative Stories, And Especially As We Listen To The Stories That Jesus Tells, Get A Feel For The Way He Does It, The Way He Talks, The Way He Treats People, The Jesus Way.

Our Father In Heaven, Reveal Who You Are. Set The World Right; Do What's Best - As Above, So Below. Keep Us Alive With Three Square Meals. Keep Us Forgiven With You And Forgiving Others. Keep Us Safe From Ourselves And The Devil. You're In Charge!
