On the Bridge

I'm wanting to write something about our upcoming journey to Belfast, Northern Ireland. I don't want to write for the sake of seeing my thoughts on a blog, but to craft a few words that express my hope for peace. I'm realizing that working at reconciliation that leads to peace, in my life and our world, is a process of living on the bridge. The bridge leads us to love one another. For me, it is living in contemplation, prayer, making art and offering hospitality and loving kindness to the travelors that cross.

With art and prayer we hope to live in a community of hope and love, creating and caring for the world that God has created. Pray for us on the bridge, pray for our ability to discern the needs of all that pass our way and to offer comfort in Christ.
