We don"t come to the table to fight or to defend.
We don"t come to prove or to conquer ...
We come to the table,

Wisdom has taken to the streets.
She calls us on us to hear and understand.
She cries with the hurting and celebrates with us in our joys.
She is everywhere

2023 is behind us. 2024 is a head of us. My payer for everyone (including myself) is ...
Peace -- but not contentment, because ...
Beware!

She calls us on us to hear and understand.
She cries with the hurting and celebrates with us in our joys...

Irreverent reverence.
Ah Ha! moments all ...
The Neighborhood Pub
There is ritual
There is symbolism
Hymns are sung ...
"What kind of church is that over there?
"A Baptist one," I replied.
"Praise the Lord! I am a Baptist ... Do you know who I am?"
"No, I don't," I answered. "I am The Terminator,"
"What a tragic sense of loss
for a friend held dear."
