Montana Time


on the road to Missoula (notice who is at the wheel) 

  
our two drivers above who got us here safely 

the welcoming committee in Missoula 



In our days away, let us play

together. Let us laugh together. 
Let us be moved to speak 

such meaningful words 
as ought to be spoken 
among family and friends. 
Let us linger long at tables and drink deeply 
of one another's company, enjoying each
for who they are with the steady pressures 
of our ordinary days now lifted. 

Bless our journey and our arrival. 
Bless our days spent away. 
And bless also our eventual passage home, that, 
we might return as those who have been revived, 
with hopes resurrected, 
delight restored, 
hearts readied again for 
forward movement into life, 
strength renewed to shoulder once more 
the meaningful labors assigned to 
in this season. 
-Douglas Kaine McKelvey Every Moment Holy
