Stillness

[Robert.Chaffe at nre.vic.gov.au]

To all in our small blue green world that has been touched by darkness.

Our church has a simple sign on a piece of cardboard outside on the street "Open
for Prayer" .   The church's lights are on, to well after 10:00PM.  The lights
include lighting up the cross at the front of the church.  In the dark it shines
out a message of compassion and love.  We will all join in a special service on
Friday night focused on those touched by this disaster.

As the black cloud tries to swallow us, let us take the lead and find the light
of goodness and love and grow it so that it may touch every corner of our world,
our home.

Robert

I agree with the comments about "Hearing our voices for today... and tomorrow"
being the more "gut grabbing" of the two. There is something in that (or in the
story of how your group came to that), however, that loses some power because it
is dependent upon others doing the hearing. If there is a way to incorporate
that idea into a statement that speaks to what we will (because we have control
and can) do, I believe it can be even more powerful. Perhaps something like
"giving voice to our dreams for today... and tomorrow"?

Anyway-- just a thought! --BJ
