Sundays are my favorite day to take pictures.*

The Gift was composed outside a church in Pigtown on a Sunday in October. There was a group of folks conjugating in front of the temple when I walked by, so I slow rolled without taking a photo hoping to return later in the day. The thing that drew me to the sign was the florescence of the humble letters. There was a warmth and timelessness to the message, even though I wasn't totally sure what it meant. My goal was to capture the feeling, and do the research later.

I learned that the message was referencing a verse from the Bible (Ephesians 2:8) and in short it means: By the grace of God we are forgiven from all sins through faith in Christ.

Heavy.

To be honest, I don't go to church, but I have used the expression seeing Jesus! when dancing into the wee hours, which in this regard makes me a—faithful devotee. Our lives are diverse and if the Bible is your guiding light? Alright, alright, alright. I believe everything is connected; we are all one people, one flower, one star. Do unto others (Luke 6:31). Amen.

Now, let's go shake that booty! It's about to be a sermon up in here.

* Because they are quiet (like a church mouse).
