Day 29: Restoring the Land

I am deeply struck by the quote in the gospel about the son doing what he sees the father doing. It reminds me of the quote that as parents it is not what we say to our children about moral decisions, it is what they see us doing that matters most.

Day 28: The Lord Has Come, The Lord Is Coming

Christian hope has always held in tension the twin realities of the already and the not yet - the Lord has come, and the Lord is coming.

Day 27: Come Down and Heal

While we wait let us visit the sick and imprisoned, shelter the homeless and feed the hungry, but let us also prepare a showcase for the Lord’s return. Begin with our own lives and then work to clean watersheds and soils; let us extirpate invasive species and restore landscapes with natives; let us know and glory in creatures that reside in our neighborhoods and those that pass through.
