“Observe the Sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male all may rest as well as you. Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

2024-05-26 Moving Beyond The Unknown
26 MAY 2024 · “Wonder then is a force of liberation, it makes sense of what our souls inherently
know we were meant for. Every mundane glimpse is salve on a wound, instructions
for how to set the bone right again. If you really want to get free, find God on the
subway, find God in the soap bubble. Me, I meet God in the taste of my grandmas
chicken, I hear God in the raspy leather of Nina Simone’s voice, I see the face of
God in the boney teenager bagging my groceries and why shouldn't I? My faith is
held together by wonder, by ever defined commitment to presence and paying
attention.”
-Cole Arthur Riley
