What is love if it cannot be acknowledged.

Sister Julienne of Call The Midwife

Meaner

Is it me or is the world getting meaner…especially to those who are not the norm and the least of these. My outlook on life is positive but what I see in some segments of life, the media, etc. is not good. Very troubling times we live in. I pray and hope for peace and love. 

To be truly happy you need love and forgiveness

Something I heard on the Hallmark Channel

Love Wins

Love wins…today of all days. Cherish the ones you love every day. I salute the courage to love no matter what, no matter the odds. To those who love under ground you have my encouragement.

On this day know that you are loved and liked. You are special and make the world better. Grace and peace good people.

Rambling About un-Valentine’s

Love begins sometimes with yourself. If you find yourself alone or without attachments this valentine’s day go do something fun and be with people you like. Not everyone will have a sweetheart to spend time with. Romance is a lot of fun but sometimes you should set that aside for a season and learn what it is to love yourself more. 

Embrace how special you are. I have had a valentine for the last 16 years but before then it was a long dry spell for me during Valentine’s day. Spend time with others who are in the same situation. Declare your love for your group of friends and be good to yourself. Prepare yourselves for the next season of romance you will have, you never know when that will be. 

Love thy neighbor as thy self is not a suggestion by the way.

Just saying. 

Rambling About New Love

Perhaps its time for some people to stop telling others who they can love and imposing laws preventing it. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be truly available to everyone when everyone can marry the person they chose. I believe in the traditions of love and family but I also believe that love and family are changing to include LGBTQ folks. Anything new scares people and new love scares people the most. 

Lord, keep us from speaking of love while hoarding the gifts you have given us. Make us full of discontent as long as there are brothers and sisters living and dying in hunger. Amen.

Common Prayer

Let love guide your life and decisions.

Rev. Lyle White, my pastor.
