My friend SC always has the best signature quotes in her e-mails. For a long time she always signed off with:
To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. –Karl Barth
Here is her latest:
May God give you grace never to sell yourself short, grace to risk something big for something good, and grace to remember that the world is now too dangerous for anything but truth, and too small for anything but love. –William Sloane Coffin

Q.E.D.
Thank you for giving me a benediction for Sunday! It is a keeper! And it goes right along with where (I at this moment in time think) my sermon will be going!
