(If you prefer, read on Medium.)

The good news is, God’s absolution is never dependent on what we do or what we’ve done.

God creates new.
Out of the rubble.
Out of the grave.

A timeless truth: Just when we think that all hope is lost - and that we'd mucked it up for good… God swoops in and starts something new.

Ex nihilo.

May we Rest In Peace
in this death
the world is experiencing.

And may something new
arise from the ashes
and surprise us all.

Amen.
