Hello, beloved in Christ. Today’s greetings are coming from Grand Mesa, Colorado. As part of my effort to get out more, I decided to take a side trip coming back from my visitation in Grand Junction to explore this section of Colorado. It is my first time here and it is beautiful. As I commune with the beauty of this land. It offers me the opportunity to grieve, to grieve the knowledge that this was the land of the Ute people and they were run off of it. It was land that they loved very much. There’s also an opportunity to remind myself that these wild spaces are gifts from our Creator. And it makes me want to double up my efforts on preservation and care for this precious creation we have been given. It’s my prayer that you in the Episcopal Church of Colorado will get out here, that you will experience the beauty of this place we call home, and that God would stir your hearts to be compassionate towards it and the people who inhabit it and give us hearts to care for it. Blessings.
