white blazes

take out a cup
and some bread
and put it in the middle of the table,
and say a prayer and examine yourselves
and then make sure everybody’s rent is paid and there’s food in their fridge and clothes on their backs
and then invite everybody to say ‘yes’ to the resurrected Christ with whatever ‘yes’ they can muster in the
moment and then you take that bread and you dip it in that cup in the ancient/future hope and trust that
there is a new creation bursting forth right here right now and then together taste that new life and
liberation and forgiveness and as you look those people in the eyes gathered around that table from all
walks of life and you see the new humanity, sinners saved by grace, beggars who have found bread
showing the others beggars where they found it
and in that moment
space
place
remind yourselves that
this
is
what
you
believe.
