You Are My Sunshine shirt

I want to share these sunflowers with You Are My Sunshine shirt. I put them in my kitchen last week. I added some lilies today. Sunflowers to honor my friend Jeff Blake who is now receiving hospice services in his Covington home. Lilies to celebrate the risen Christ who has wrapped Jeff up in a soft warm blanket of grace and who has drawn him into the nearer Presence. I’m grateful to know many of you through Jeff and with Jeff. I’ve watched as you have helped Jeff carry his cross.

work together in the 90’s, in the ministry of Goodwill Industries. You Are My Sunshine tshirt. Maybe it was then when I began to understand how the very people we are trying to save are actually saving us. There is a steady flow of grace between healer and wounded. We are actually one in the same. Fr. Gregory Boyle, who says compassion is the answer to everything, calls this kinship. Henri Nouwen calls this a sacred covenant between equals. Jeff Blake calls it radical grace.

I want to tell you something. I don’t worship any dogma or sacred text. I cherish some scripture, actually all scripture that leads me to a place of love. You Are My Sunshine tshirt. I dispense with any scripture that leads me elsewhere. I assume it’s over my head or that there was some mix- up in understanding or translation.

Surrender is trusting that the God who brought us all here will also take us all home. I found a tiny ladybug on one, You Are My Sunshine tshirt. I caught myself wanting to shew her away from her home and then take a more perfect picture. Perfection and expectation can lead to resentment. Acceptance is the pathway to peace.

The ladybug stays. So do the snakes. And God bless the fundamentalists and all the people who tolerated and loved me when I was “one of them”.You Are My Sunshine tshirt. When I was proclaiming my faith to be certainty, beyond trust, and also separate and superior. Mea Culpa. For my arrogance.
