Who has not found heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God's residence is next to mine,
His furniture is love.

stop one heart
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

our credo
Although this site isn't about us.... Here are a few things we stand for...
We believe that this world is not as it should be and that another world is possible.
We believe in a better way of living that brings the kingdom of God down in the here and now.
We believe that we are called to love God and love people, and that in all things love wins.
We believe in living a revolutionary life, living differently than the masses, and loving passionately and without restraint.
We believe that in living incarnationally, we are restoring a broken earth, mending broken hearts, and reclaiming all things to beauty and wholeness, subsequently making the world a better place.
We believe in living for others rather than ourselves and putting aside our own pride, comforts, and desires in order to serve those around us.
We believe in a world where the marginalized are no longer outcasts but are embraced in love.
We believe that Jesus is drawing all humanity to himself, reconciling the world to God through the willing sacrifice of flesh and blood.
We believe in forgiving those who refuse to forgive us, forgiving enemies who seek to steal, kill and destroy, and forgiving those who seem impossible to forgive.
We believe that all this brings into fullness an abundant life of joy, wholeness, and completeness in our being.
