he clearest definition I’ve ever heard for the mission of God is this: Crossing boundaries for love.

Bishop Holly did that his whole life. He was a priest and a bishop and a missionary that crossed boundaries, literally and figuratively. That’s why we remember him today.

Philip did that, when he listened to the Spirit’s call to to cross a boundary and engage in conversation with the Ethiopian.

Lent...and this journey to Good Friday and Easter...is a reminder that Jesus crossed crossed the ultimate boundary...between heaven and earth...for love.

So, I ask you? Where do you see boundaries in your community? In your church? In your own life?

And what boundaries are you willing to cross for love?
