Cleaning up

Our last Crosswalk service was held on June 22nd. It was not an easy decision for us to end the service, but I continue to pray with hope for the seeds of new life to emerge.

In the grief attached to the ending of the service, I offer these words from Emily Dickinson


The bustle in a house
The morning after death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted upon earth.

The sweeping up the heart
And putting love away
We shall not want to use again
Until eternity.

- Emily Dickinson
