As we stride ever onward, now into a summer that promises to be one like we have never experienced before, we continue to take a moment each day with music. Throughout these next few months, look for some more offbeat choices, many more of your own community selections and comments, and as ever, a little injection of faith, hope, and love into your day.

Some of you who follow us regularly have heard songs from John Fullbright before, though it’s been a while - once in service, and once here in the email meditation. This song has been rolling around in my head for a few days, so I thought, maybe I’m meant to share it. I hope it speaks to you today.
Daydreamer, lost in dreams
Sewn all together with the magic seams
Daydreamer, lost in a crowd all alone
Daydreamer, thinks he can fly
Sees white pictures in a big blue sky
Daydreamer, dreaming of a world all his own.
Young men spend a lot of time looking down at the ground
Looking down when they pray
Looking down everyday
Dreamers know that the finer things wait up in the air
But young men are proud
Sometimes dreaming aint allowed
Dream me a better world and I'll find a better way
Dream me a bigger sky and I'll blow the rain away
I'm a young man today
Thats got nothing left to say about tomorrow.
Young men spend a lot of time watching old men make mistakes
But when the young man falls
Well then the old heart breaks
Theres a fire burning deep inside and its as mad as its mean
Its hungry as its lean
And its as fleeting as a dream
Dream me a better world and I'll find a better way
Dream me a bigger sky and I'll blow the rain away
I'm a young man today
Thats got nothing left to say about tomorrow
Listen...
Pray...
Dream me a better world…
We also lift up the following prayers shared during last Sunday's worship service:
For the future of the women and girls in Afghanistan.
Even in our separation, God, help us to feel the deep delight of your love for all. Amen.
