just stop with all the questions

"Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. 'Teacher,' he said, 'what must I do to inherit eternal life?'” Luke 10:25

well,
for starters, we 
might stop obsessing
about the other side
of grace, and share 
justice with others.
we could end all speculating
and notice the folks sitting
on street corners and 
in building doorways, who
are longing for another life.
we can quit thinking
it is all about us and 
our end game and 
come off the bench 
to relieve those who 
are working three jobs.
finally, we could simply
put away all our silly
questions, and get on
with the task of being 
part of the Beloved Community
rather than waiting for it
to fall into our laps.
