Today’s Reflection
Embracing my call, giving what I can give,
I will act and I’ll love, and most of all, live.
Fear not, today’s Jonahs, God is with you right now.
Comtempl-active living is the call and the how.
—Sharon Seyfarth Garner, Praying with Jonah: Practices for Imperfect Pilgrims (Upper Room Books, 2026)
