QUOTE OF THE DAY FROM A CONVERSATION WITH DYLAN: "MOMMY, CAN WE GO TO A WESTAUWANT TO EAT?"..."WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO THERE?"....HE REPLIED THE FOLLOWING WITH AN ADORABLE LITTLE GRIN, "BECAUSE I'M CUTE!". THE CHILD DID TELL THE TRUTH!!

VERSE: "LET ALL BITTERNESS AND WRATH AND ANGER AND CLAMOR AND SLANDER BE PUT AWAY FROM YOU, ALONG WITH ALL MALICE." -EPHESIANS 4:31-

I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS SONG, THE LYRICS OFTEN MAKE ME CRY. ESPECIALLY IN A WORLD WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE (MANNNNNNNNNY CHRISTIANS INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP...) ARE SO JUDGMENTAL, AND WANT THINGS DONE THEIR WAY. AND IF THEY'RE NOT DONE THEIR WAY, THEN EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG. LET US NOT FORGET THAT DIVERSITY BRINGS BEAUTY. AND LET US REMEMBER EDIFICATION...SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THE CHURCH HAS FORGOTTEN BOTH OF THESE THINGS.

Oh the days when I drew lines around My faith to keep you out,
to keep me in, to keep it safe. Oh the sense of my own self-entitlement
To say who's wrong, who won't be long, or cannot stay.
Cause somebody somewhere decided we'd be better off divided.
And somehow, despite the damage done He says come:

CHORUS: There is room enough for all of us
Please come, and the arms are open wide enough
Please come, and our parts are never greater than the sum
This is the heart of the one who
Stands before the open door and bids us come.

Oh the times when I have failed to
Recognize how many chairs are
Gathered there around the feast.
To break the bread and break these
Boundaries that have kept us
From our only common ground the
Invitation to sit down if we will come:

CHORUS There is room enough for all of us
Please come, and the arms are open wide enough
Please come, and our parts are never greater than the sum
This is the heart of the one who
Stands before the open door and bids us come

Come from the best of humanity
Come from the depths of depravity
Come now and see how we need every
Different beat on this same street. Come
