Verse of the day

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV)

Voice of the day

Loss is our common denominator. None of us will escape it. None of us will outrun death. What do we do in the space between that is our lives? What is the quality and richness of our lives? How do we move through struggle and let community hold us when we have been laid low?

Elizabeth Alexander

Prayer of the day

In the vulnerable space, in the confusing space, and in the spaces filled with loss, connect us to one another through your presence, God.
