...and you shall be

My witnesses in Jerusalem

and in all Judea

and Samaria 

and to the end of the earth.

                 Acts 1. 8

(No exclusions.

Even here?

Especially even here,

   strategically placed,

   divinely appointed.

Being a witness

     underlies whatever we do,

     influences whatever I do,

     changes who I am.

The concentric circles of witness

        have no boundaries

and run farther

          and profoundly deeper

than we can ever know.

What does that look like

     where I am today?

Yes,

        even me.)
