All Saints Day

Hard to believe, but this is the one year anniversary of our return to the States from Edinburgh, Scotland.

I remember sitting on the plane a year ago, in the haze over the Atlantic, with Bono and U2 playing "The Saints are Comin'"

Yes.

They are.

And there's no stoppin' the meek from inheriting the earth.

The literal translation for "saint" is "holy one." A saint's a mess, but a beautiful mess. Beautiful because the work's done, and a saint dives into the life already won and done by Someone else. Holy people are into giving Life away to others, like their Father.

Like Bono says, "see the bird with the leaf in her mouth, after the flood, all the colours came out . . ."

In honor of those who went before, and all the rest of you saints too . . . . the above youtube bar should give you some good playtime!
