Thought Quotient

Psalm 27:13-14

13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Note: We know the Who, What, and Where - but not the When. So, we wait.
Who - the Lord - Wait on the LORD; He shall strengthen your heart.
What - the goodness of the LORD
Where - here on earth - In the land of the living

Now, if we as children heard our earthly father tell us that we were going to receive something and it was spelled out by the who, what, and where of it all - would we doubt him if he didn’t tell us when or didn’t give it to us right away?

Inhabited - One More Night

The holiest of hearts
the holiest of rooms
we had no right
to come inside
until we found the tomb

Now we are not alone
and from Your gracious throne
You gently call us home to enter in

Enter in
Come into my presence
Enter in
Come boldly in my name

I open up the door
to life forevermore
Leave all you were before
and enter in

- Twila Paris, ‘Enter in’

Hope everyone is having a reflective Easter afternoon. I just got this story about a ‘U2 Eucharist‘. If anyone has ever been to one, please leave a comment and tell us what you thought or experienced.

As the electric guitar in the U2 anthem “Pride (In the Name of Love)” faded from four speakers, the Rev. Robert Brooks welcomed worshippers to Grace Episcopal Church with an unusual suggestion: He warned them to protect their hearing.

“If the sound’s an issue, we do have earplugs available,” he said.

Ushers handed out earplugs and fluorescent glow sticks for the “U2 Eucharist,” a communion service punctuated by the Irish rock band’s music. Episcopal parishes from California to Maine have hosted similar events, weaving U2’s tunes — laced with biblical references — into the liturgy.

Weeks before the service, church members conducted what Brooks called “guerrilla marketing,” posting fliers at coffee and sandwich shops, bars and colleges. About 130 people showed up for the Friday night service, roughly the same turnout as a Sunday morning. The event included an offering for local charities and enlisted volunteers for the One Campaign, an effort to alleviate global poverty that’s backed by U2’s lead singer, Bono.
