New Identities

"The challenge for us is to let these new identities define us on Monday mornings. It's easy to sing about being a child of God or the bride of Christ on a Sunday. The challenge is to think of ourselves as children of God in the classroom on a Monday morning when our classmates jeer at the way we live. The challenge is to think of ourselves as the bride of Christ in the office when the banter is coarse and the ambitions are worldly, and as the home of the Holy Spirit in the supermarket, when every thing feels mundane and dreary."

  2. It is, but I can't remember who. I'll try to find out. I wrote it straight from a book into my journal...
