Why I get up in the morning

You know, there are lots and lots of reasons not to stay in bed all day--as tempting as that particular activity may be from time to time. These three lads are among my top reasons for greeting each day with joy and gratitude. Look at them! Who wouldn't want to get up and go into a world that contains Brook, Malcolm and Max? These fabulous gifts from God point to so much more than their three individual lives, they are creation itself, the very incarnation of love. In these men I see powerfully how the choice (yes, free will is real!) to love, really love, changes the world. So, I get up each day, and put on a collar, and say thanks to the Almighty for asking me to be part of a radical movement that takes as its goal no less than global reconcilation.
