April 12th

"Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you;" 1 Peter 3:15b

our hope
is not a to-do list
we write out each day,
it is that new commandment
serving like a stent in our heart.
it is not a coach's diagram
on a whiteboard before the game,
it is a dogged determination
to do the best we can 
in the worst of situations.
it is not a theological
conundrum which 
no one can solve, 
it is the witness we offer
by the lives we share.
