My daily gratitude for:

1. Love that carries words AND action.
2. Gods justice, which I trust will come some day in full.
3. Liz’s joy yesterday sharing stories about her favorite professor and being part of a great opportunity to develop her teaching through storytelling.
4. Nugget Skates, a mentor and dear friend and a woman who is a conduit of Gods grace and welcome and fidelity to love of others. Her mark is all over my life with my parents, my brothers, and me. Happy birthday Nugget!
5. Vernall Townsend, and the ways he led and coordinate worship at Arlington CofC with utmost joy, appreciation of every voice, and commitment to walking with God.
6. All the words and reflections I have seen and read from John O Donohue.
7. The podcast La Brega, which makes me think and reflect on the people, stories, and situation of Puerto Rico.
8. the drawings and Knick knacks on my work desk that tell the stories of many children and families I have served.
9. Having all of us chaplains in the same office now.
10. Fresh baked bread or pitas or naan or whatever…I like the carbs.
11. The classic song, “Wanted: Dead or Alive”!
