Who are you that the Divine Creator would be mindful of you?
What are you compared to the earth, moon, and stars?
You are the work of holy fingers and a wholly loving heart!
The desire of the Divine Beloved for you is greater than you can imagine!

May you find healing, forgiveness, grace, and peace from the loving God whose story is wrapped up together with ours.

We find our identity in creation through God’s nourishing love.
Named and claimed in the waters of baptism,
we are grounded in grace and rooted in goodness,
empowered as heirs to the covenant
and marked as God’s beloved children.
We are that – first and last, God’s beloved.

May God who made us in Holy image bless us with
open eyes to see our world with wonder and delight.

Blessed are the ones who lose track of time and never wear a watch.
And, blessed are the ones whose Google calendars are a jampacked rainbow of colors.

Go out from this time of sacred worship prepared in both mind and heart to reflect God’s wisdom in all that you say and do.

I know you are.

I know you wonder how to still have energy when so much keeps happening at once. I know you wonder how to address it all. I know you wonder what good news the people in your circles of care need to hear. I know you wonder what good news you yourself need to hear. I know you are tired. I know you have moments when the energy is good and the vibes are pleasant and your faith in humanity is restored. I know there are moments when, like Moses, you shake your head at God and want to just say, “God, deal with your humans.” I know you are busy and thinking about Sabbath. I know you are gearing up for the tensions of this historical election season (don’t they all seem historical now?).

Give us the best attributes of dogs: more loving, more loyal, more obedient to your Word. Let our pride, unkindness, self-indulgence and self-importance melt with the summer sun. Make us light for the world. And grant us your peace. Amen

Wade in the water. Wade in the water children.

May your faith in the Lord Jesus be a guiding light in the darkest of times, a steady anchor in life’s storms, and a fountain of hope that never runs dry. May it strengthen you in times of weakness, uplift you in moments of despair, and lead you when the way is not clear. May your faith in the Lord Jesus be a source of joy, peace, and boundless blessings, today and always. Amen.

We sometimes confine God to an untouchable spiritual realm, but the realm Jesus lived in was made of blood and flesh, water and wine, dust and rain. He knew that loving one another does not always bring warm fuzzies; it sometimes it brings nails. He knew that speaking prophetic truth is not always gentle; it sometimes it brings calls for your head. To love people on the margins, to feed those who are hungry, to cry for justice might mean someone has to give up power so that others can be free, and that someone might be you or me. Faithful spirituality has physical consequences.
