Christ Jesus to the 2nd Century to GC19 to You and Me Today

From Christ Jesus —

“I pray that they may all be one.”
(John 17:21)

From yesterday’s 2nd century song —

“Watch over your church, O Lord,
in mercy,
save it from evil,
guard it still;
perfect it in your love.”

And now it’s our turn —

…uhm…

With our United Methodist

General Conference vote yesterday,

how do you honestly think we’re doing at this?

As for me personally —

I’ll quote my Breakfast Buddy Bishop Grove

(you gotta ask me about that sometime),

who last night wrote,

General Conference 2019 ended today.

In a few days when I am back home

I will share some reflections

with my facebook friends.

But before I do

I want to

breathe and rest and pray.

Until you hear more from me

spend some time with

the promise of Julian of Norwich:

“All will be well

and all will be well

and all things will be well.”

I believe that deep in my soul.

See you back here tomorrow. Meanwhile, let’s do what Bishop Grove says, and also spend some time with our Lord’s prayer for us —

“I pray that they may all be one.”
(John 17:21)
