A very happy beginning of the weekend to all of you who share my passion for "free-range" politics and organic community!

Some music to get us in the mood.

Living under the fear of the pandemic and the constraints on our lives, some leaders direct our attention to a common purpose. And not just those who are on the front lines in hospitals and grocery stores, but me, by staying at home, I have a purpose. It’s a purpose we share together, which draws us into the greater community when we feel torn away from it. It’s a reassuring and hopeful message, but why is it so hard to embrace?

The language of purpose will only take us so far

More folk theology from one of my favorite contemporary poets.

This brings us full circle back to Sunday morning.

1. I will try to open the door to our chat room a few minutes early.
2. At around 10 ... I'll say, "This is Mark in Louisville."
3. After that, I'll get out of the way.
4. Then we'll see we what happens.

There is still time for you hop on board this train.
