Grant me patience, God,
when my computer
updates and restarts.
Grant me patience, God,
right now!!
Remind me, God,
that like a computer,
I sometimes need to update,
to expand my thinking,
and increase my knowledge
to help me function more effectively.
Remind me, God,
that like a computer,
sometimes I need to turn off,
to rest, to renew,
and to love myself that I might
love you,
love your beloved children,
and love your wondrous creation
more faithfully.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.

I’m looking forward to reading Healing Our Broken Humanity, the new book written by my friend Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Graham Hill. It’s currently number two on my reading list.
You can read it too, ordering from the publisher or on Amazon.
Check out this reflection on the book originally posted in Outreach Magazine. And here’s a podcast featuring Grace talking about the book that originally appeared on Spirituality for Ordinary People.
I’ll post more about it as I read.
See you along the Trail.
