Nice! … With the earthquake, I loved the way you combined the hurt of the past and the love and the concern of the present … They both existed at the same time … It doesn’t have to be one or the other … They CAN both exist … We can allow one to come forward … and one to recede! … Well Done!

Thank you! And thank you for writing the Mystic Jesus, listening to it(on audible as I drive my big truck)has become part of my morning getting my head right!! The sense that so many are praying and open to a better way is comforting. But knowing that the love I send to the world is my contribution brings me joy.

Nice reminder to love even those who may have hurt us in the past. To keep everyone we touch and share our lives with in mind when they may need our help.
