Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.

We’re NOT finished with the Mokuaikaua preservat

We’re NOT finished with the Mokuaikaua preservation project. But the saying: “Many hands make light work” took on new meaning this Christmas Eve. Seeing candles shining in the hands of a full-house crowd gave a rush hope—for each of our lives, for this community and for the completion of the preservation of Mokuaikaua. It’s just a building. But last night, tiny flickers of light illuminating a half-renovated house of prayer felt like a sign of much more. #hopeforkona .
