My Favorite Color is Blue Sometimes

8 December 2017
By Roger Hutchison

When I think of you

I see yellow.

Yellow is the flickering flame of a candle.

Yellow is a sour lemon.

Yellow is a sunflower

standing tall and proud.

Yellow is a soft blanket,

comfort on a cold morning.

Yellow is holding hands.

Yellow is a shooting star in the night sky.

You blink and it is gone.

Yellow is a shooting star in the night sky. You blink and it is gone.

You are a shooting star.

Your light trails across the heavens.

I blinked

and you were gone.

My Favorite Color is Blue Sometimes is a beautiful exploration of color, using art to journey through the process of loss. Copyright Paraclete Press, used by permission.

Proximity and Presence

By Jonathan Brooks

At Canaan we are trying to live into our tagline “the church where love makes the difference,” which we have found to be a very dangerous statement. Christians often tell people we love them before we have ever lived with, listened to, or learned from them.

Adoption as a Sign of Shalom

By Kelley Nikondeha

As parents of children once orphaned by disease and poverty, my husband Claude and I are familiar with the kind of injustice that creates vulnerable children. Our commitment to shalom for communities led us to engage both in the holy work of adoption, and in community development work in Burundi so that these families would never be tempted or tricked into relinquishing their children.
