Living in Wholeness and Integrity

Dusty Baker, the manager of the Houston Astros, won his first World Series last week, which is noteworthy because it showed what perseverance and character can do. The 73-year-old champion is only the third Black manager to win the Series, and Dusty is much beloved. Fans from around the country were pulling for him. “I’m so happy that it took this long because it allowed me to influence more people.”
“Jack pines won't win many beauty contests. But this valiant old tree is as beautiful as a living thing can be. In the calligraphy of its shape against the sky is written strength of character and perseverance. In its silence it speaks of wholeness and integrity that comes from being what you are.” – Douglas Wood, author, musician, naturalist
Affirmative prayer: Today, Infinite Presence, I am true to who I am. I give thanks for my inclusion in this grand life, for my connection to others and to Divine Beingness. I am appointed, every day, to live in wholeness and integrity, and I pray that my living example inspires others. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
