the gate

'"For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.'" Matthew 7:14

could it be

we make the road

harder than it need be

by walking it on 

our own terms?

could it be that 

the gate becomes

narrower and narrower

the more calories of

pride we consume?

could it be that more

may find the gate if

we are willing to join

that Beloved Community

rather than searching alone?
