Any Dream Will Do

So, my Church,

For some strange reason, the words from “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” have been wafting through my mind and thoughts. 

“I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew.
Far far away, someone was weeping,
But the world was sleeping,
Any dream will do.’’ 

You have sat through—as have I, many school performances of this musical by Andrew Lloyd Weber and have a soft spot for it.  My thoughts bothered me:  It is a vision about shared humanity and the hard labor of creating and keep going a shared world of values.

No. Not just any dream, but the dream of what our lives could be like, the dream of what our world could be like, that’s the dream we’re called to follow, and to bring into being – for that is the dream of building God’s kingdom of heaven on earth.

And only that dream will do.

Let’s dare to dream and see what God will do - let’s dream, and let’s dream big.
