Finally!
It seemed a long time coming, but some things are worth waiting for. This peony finally bloomed today.
The bud of a peony begins smaller than the tip of a pinky finger. But when it finally opens…behold its magnificence!
Acceptance, reconciliation, and grace for all God’s people is even more beautiful.
Break down the walls and let it be so, so that all of us may say together, “Finally!”
Sunday’s Shot of Grace: Believe Out Loud
This statement is beside a bulletin board at Belmont United Methodist Church in Nashville, Tennessee. It’s where my family and I go to church.
These are the names of church folk who agree with the statement. icanhasgrace.
Grace Upon Grace
Look closely at the faces in the picture above. Look at those smiles! These are the faces of people who have taken to heart the United Methodist tag line, “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.” My Sunday school class, the Kairos Class at Belmont United Methodist Church, officially became a Reconciling Class and joined the Reconciling Ministries Network today.
About
About the Blog
icanhasgrace is a statement, a plea, a demand, and a prayer.
icanhasgrace is 65% about finding grace in every day life, and 35% about family, photography, and culture.
When I do it right, you can’t tell which is the 65% and which is the 35% because they run together.
icanhasgrace is my attempt to share my passions.
About Me
My name is Doug. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m a web editor, partner (such a strange word. It makes me think of cowboys and business arrangements), and father to four wonderful children.
