Many a time I walk along the downtown streets of San Francisco and see boy and girl walking together. The girl often dresses as if she cared how she looks, how others see her. It took some doing. The boy looks like he slept in whatever her is wearing, which took no effort. I think about this is prayer. I know my God accepts me when I am presenting myself with little effort to have looked good. I am a mess and need mercy and forgiveness. But I would like to present myself to my God in prayer with a better impression and this takes work, effort on my part. Being good is often not so easy. But as long as I am trying, eventually I will go in a better direction.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
