when love comes to town: The power of love...

A follow-up to yesterday's post re: another type of witness. The local paper, The Berkshire Eagle, ran this story - and the reactions of the children are worth the price of admission and more! Huey Lewis once sang about "the power of love" - and he sure got that one right! Thanks Andy, Charlie, Ben, Johnny and Di.

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN

U2 mixed the blues and the gospel - rock and roll and B. B. King - to create a genre-bending sound that honored tradition while creating something new. My sense is that the holy continues to break through our popular culture in startling but creative ways if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. John O'Donohue writes: "Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it call us to feel, think and act beautiful." More than ever before I sense that this era cries out for a spirituality of tenderness in small, real ways that touch our ordinary lives. Artist Anita Rolls gets it right with "Jesus on the Tube."
