Be still

Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the holy one is here.
Living in community opens you to germs and bugs you might not meet if you lived in isolation. Close proximity and a buffet line are perfect for the proliferation of tummy bugs.
No fun.
Living in community, though, also opens you to contagious faith. As one person can share her love for the Lord, he can take it further.
Living in our world today, with the upheavals and demigods and wars and famines, opens us up to fear and despair.
Living in our world today, though, also opens us up to share our hope for the future based in Jesus' promises.
As I move towards recovery from the bugs which moved into me yesterday, may I express hope and be light in this bit of world today.
May you be, too.
