Fifth Sunday in Lent

"Even the sparrow finds a home,
         and the swallow a nest for herself, "
     where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O LORD of hosts,
     my King and my God." Psalm 84:3

that blowhard who
everyone wishes would
just drift away,
that neighbor whose
political opinions bother us 
more than their choice of 
a sporting team,
that supervisor who never
misses a chance to take
all the credit for our hard work,
and yes,
even that person who 
we have the most difficulty
abiding in our lives (that 
face in the mirror every
time we look)
has a special space
in the heart of God.
