Good words!

I just read something so good, I have to spread it around!

OK, I know... It means next to nothing for me with my little baby, never-trafficked blog to repeat something from one of the most established, more popular, more prolific bloggers EVER (now quotable in book format, from whence I draw today's thoughts). But... it's just... words this well matched should be entered into any record that venerates words! In fact, they should be thrown up to the Heavens and then strung about everywhere, Deuteromomy 6 style! (I always want to call this passage "The Schlameil," but I'm pretty sure that's Laverne & Shirley, not Hebrew. I think the thing I'm actually referencing is "The Shema.")

OK, I'm off task! The words, the words, they demand to be heard....

So just listen.

"If the wafers are going stale for you, be the bread yourself. Break yourself open and nourish the world.
"If the communion table seems cheap and tacky, become a table yourself. Be a resting place for the weary.
"If you feel there are no more angels, pick up the phone and spread your own tidings.
"Gather your bread. Set your table. Shout your good news... Do these things in remembrance of HIM."

Amen, brother.
