Let's Take Off the Halos
Let's take off the halos and let our horizons spread to the edges of the galaxy. Billions of years of creation. Let our horizons go in such a way that the people of God, no matter how flawed or unflawed, are welcomed in. And we find ourselves forgiving, not 70 times seven, but forever. For it is a gift of grace that we have been given to give to others. Let us take off this horizon and let us see the world populated not just with people, but with all of the creation. And may we see the interweavings of all of that. With that halo off, we can see the marvelous complexity of the creation of God. And maybe, just maybe, we can start to understand the grace and the love of that creator.
