City of God

Today we celebrate the many holy men and women who have gone before us. A rich soldier who gave it all away to become a beggar. A pediatrician who valued life above all things. A fisherman who stuck his foot in his mouth as often as he said something right. A priest who died in a prison camp. And so many others that go unnamed. I'm grateful to have them as examples, but also to think of what waits for us--the heavenly Jerusalem. Because this is not our home, and so often I feel like I don't belong. But I'll keep going, hoping that in some small way, I'm bringing Jesus to the world.
