“Be” On that Friday we call “Good”

H2odevos p4p Lent 2013 “Be”

On that Friday we call “Good”

"Believe, be Light, be Love just because

All along you've belonged

In this love song

This now, befriend

Come what may, with your heart begin

Believe Be Light Be Love"

Be Etc by Peter Mayer

Cody Kuehl has been our “artist in residence” on Wednesday nights during Lent as we have come to terms with the notion of “All Things Being Made New in Christ”- Experiencing God Through Art. During our Taize service last week he painted this picture which is called “Avarice and Apathy.” It was amazing to watch him paint this story out right in front of our very eyes.

Peter sings it so well,   

“Tears of sadness for the hands that kill

Tears of joy when life is born

Heard a bell ring freedom and my sails are filled

In a rusty nail a cross and a temple curtain torn

Chorus

Oh Oh Oh Oh hear the news

Love is loose hey ey

Love is loose in the world

Oh Oh Oh Oh the universe is singing

Loose hey hey God is loose in the world”

Loose in the World  by Peter Mayer

Today is the Friday that we call “Good.” I’m sure you have your own traditions and ways to observe it. I’m asking you to remember and recall the “GOOD” in your life. That is to say, to be like Mary and ponder all these things in your heart. You’ve probably heard me say it or write it before that in my opinion, “Ponder” is a cross between Prayer in the upper room and the wonder of Easter Morning. And between that room and the empty tomb there is the CROSS. That’s why we call this Friday “GOOD.”

Peace,
