the refuge throwing parties. sharing stories. finding hope. practicing the ways of Jesus.
ezekiel 37, again
by cheryl lawrie

you do not give up on the broken and the lost
you do not give up on the fractured or the shattered or the dying or the dead
you do not give up on the fearful or the hateful or the impossible
you do not give up when there is no heartbeat left or no heart at all
you do not give up you do not leave us for dead

all are welcome.
