Okay, if I get one more bank account scamming email from Nigeria, I'm going to scream.

Subject change--listen to Archbishop Oscar Romero:

"It helps now and then, to step back and take the long view.

The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision...

This is what we are about:
We plant seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something, and to do it well.
It may be incomplete, but is a beginning, a step along the way,
an opportunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders,
ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own. Amen."

I wish I could have met him.
