Sunday starts with mourning
a headless dove.
In church we nibble cinnamon rolls, sip coffee,
speak of grace and peace
because we are the people of the cross.
But there was blood on the beach,
and Sunday ends in mourning.
Word Count: 40
In memory of 21 Egyptian Christians, beheaded by ISIS, martyred for their faith.

Note: Last year I wrote 40 words daily throughout Lent. Lyla challenged me to subtract a word each day in 2015.
All the One Word Less for Lent 2015 posts will be bundled here
Looking forward to seeing how this challenge goes for you, both in the words and the soul. 🙂
It’ll be a… challenge, on both fronts. 🙂
So moved by your words today . . . May your Lenten season be rich with blessings, Sandy.
Thank you, Martha. And may yours (and mine) be rich with lessons and insights and Presence.
Thank you for doing this Sandy…
Thank you for being you, Dea.
