Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Midnight Prayer


My prayer-poem, Midnight Prayer, is being used by the Human Rights Campaign as part of this Sunday's commentary on the Revised Common Lectionary (the Scripture passages used by many Christian churches in their Sunday services).

I'm really honored that the folks at Out in Scripture found my prayer on the web and asked my permission to use it. Check it out! And be sure to sign up to receive the Out in Scripture commentaries each week by email.

Is that your poem at the very end? I wish they'd given you attribution.

The link I gave is for the current week, so the link is already outdated. My poem is at this link:

and they did give me attribution, as well as a link to my blog. Thanks for looking out for me, Celeste!
