Sister Joan Chittister famously said, "We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again." Reflecting on that journey -- a blog at a time -- is the focus of this site.

An Outward and Visible Sign ..
I couldn't resist a snap of this outward and visible sign of putting faith into action from the All Saints Church parking lot ... .
I found the huge Prius bumper irresistible and have three stickers on mine which I change periodically. Currently they are "Vote against hate in 2008", "All Sorts and Conditions of People - The Inclusive Episcopal Church" and a series of rainbow cats. I have a new one which says "Be careful who you hate - it might be someone you love". I know, it should be "whom" but I'm not the designer.
The only think disturbing to this Michigan native is that all those stickers are attached to a Japanese car. Do us a favor back here in Michigan. Buy American, please. The jobs you save could be your own. Everytime I travel to my home state I always insist on renting an American brand automobile. But I'm still very much in the minority on your highways. We in depressed old Michigan would appreciate it.
SOME COMMENTS ABOUT COMMENTS: •Feel free to disagree, but if you disagree, give a reason. • Please stay with the thread -- the place to post long articles on other topics is your own blog. • Challenging ideas will get a conversation going; attacking individuals will get a comment deleted.•
FINALLY: If you comment, your words are yours to do with as you please, but I reserve the right to cite them in other contexts.
