...that we behaved

            in the world

with simplicity 

    and godly sincerity,

not by earthly wisdom 

  but by the grace of God.

           2 Corinthians 1. 12

(And that response

    will always look different.

Not what is expected behavior,

or comes naturally,

but through a heart 

  transformed by the

              grace of God.

It is in the midst of crisis 

that the core of 

   what we truly believe 

is revealed in how we act.

Does anyone see

    anything different in me?)

O LORD,

Help us to live 

in such a way

     that You are seen.

Reveal Your way to us,

reveal Your heart in us

   that Your grace

     and Your Presence

is obvious 

         even to us.
