Hi there,

A lot of people are at camp.. and most people have Facebook. This entry comes from me, in Calgary, on my page that will be viewed no where near as much as Facebook. That is not the point, this is just my little spot.

I had such a good weekend. Just felt refreshing.

I really enjoyed this movie. It's called Once. Have you seen it yet?


I spent time with this one. She shines.

I am listening to and thoroughly enjoying the new Wilco CD 'Sky Blue Sky'. Also, the new Feist has been burrowing nicely in the strings of my heart.

Alright, this too. A prayer by Archbishop Oscar Romero.

It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view.
The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.
We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.
Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that could be said.
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confession brings perfection.
No pastoral visit brings wholeness.
No program accomplishes the Church’s mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.
This is what we are about.
We plant the seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest.
We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own.


Uplifting.
