“It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home with you for the rest of your life” Randall Jarrell

 Maybe a huge mall will be built outside town but it’s hard to imagine Wabash giving up magnificence for modular. I walk around this town and sense my own conservatism. This is a town where people keep their houses nice and go next door to visit. These are my people. Tonight when I perform at the Eagles Theatre, I’ll ask the audience to sing “America” and they’ll know the words and sing it in harmony, and also “It Is Well With My Soul” and “I Saw Her Standing There.” I could live here happily.

FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2022
“Dear brothers and sisters, today the Risen Christ invites us to a new impetus – everyone, each one of us – he invites us to dive into the good without the fear of losing something, without calculating too much, without waiting for others to begin. Why? Do not wait for others, because in order to go out to meet Jesus, we need to be put off balance. We need to be put off balance with courage, restore ourselves, but restore ourselves unbalanced, taking risks.”
Pope Francis

 
Friday of the Third Week of Easter
Psalm 117
Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.

Praise the LORD, all you nations;
            glorify him, all you peoples!
Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.

For steadfast is his kindness toward us,
            and the fidelity of the LORD endures forever.
Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.
