Yesterday I saw two people praying at this church. It touched my heart. There was a brief connection. One man lived in the neighborhood, the other was the janitor who’s unemployed now but was coming by to clean up any way -just because it’s his job, whether he’s paid or not. The janitor asked to not be in the photo, worried, he didn’t want to cause any trouble being seen in prayer. I felt that.

The angels watch us in envy while we waste our time with separation, selfishness and hate. But that day is over. History is behind us. Today we honor and allow worship in whatever way feels good -because we can
