Christmas can evoke a lot of wonderful memories filled with wonder and delight. But it can also carry a sense of loss...or more accurately, maybe, a sense of what could be but isn't yet.
Faith
Is justice ever coming?
Living for the things Jesus values—love, grace, peace, generosity, compassion—flies in the face of political/industrial/military machines whose agenda is primarily about power & profits for the few at the expense of the many.
Offended at offensiveness
I'm tired of people being offended that others find their offensiveness so offensive.
An unChristian calling
“Church” as we’ve come to know it for most of our lifetimes, needs to be reinvented. Reimagined. Not as a sanctuary against the world, but as a community of people who are providing light in the midst of darkness.
Something new. Something different.
But the whole time, I’ve known that there was something else I’m supposed to be doing. Some other way to bring all of the knowledge and experience and passion for life that somehow comes very naturally to me alive in the wider world around me.
