“Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have,” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have,” the first line of Mary Oliver’s poem Thirst, always rings true. I re-read that poem nearly every morning. And: this weekend, the next few lines of her poem took on fresh meaning: “I walk out to the pond and all the way God has given us such beautiful lessons. Oh Lord, I was never a quick scholar but sulked and hunched over my books past the hour and the bell; grant me, in your mercy, a little more time. Love for the earth a

Imperfection and Independence Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As you’ve no doubt noticed, in recognition that this Sunday falls on the Fourth of July weekend, we recognize Independence Day in our service in our liturgy. The bible passages appointed for Independence Day are ones calling us to greatness.
