Lord, catch me off guard today.
Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain
So that at least for the moment
I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor,
Always and everywhere,
Barely hidden,
Beneath,
Beyond,
Within this life I breathe.
Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain
So that at least for the moment
I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor,
Always and everywhere,
Barely hidden,
Beneath,
Beyond,
Within this life I breathe.

Charis means grace, and that’s what this blog is about: grace, in all its—sometimes messy, always magnificent—manifestations. I’m Dan Butcher, and I invite you to join me in learning to lead a Christ-centered, grace-filled life.
