Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

A Messy, Gooey, Awesome Kind of Life

“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”
― G.K. Chesterton
____________________________

life is messy
relationships are messy
love is messy
faith is messy

we always want it clean
easy
instant gratification seems lovely
most days

but instead we are stuck
with the messy kind of life

real life
the place where we live and breath
and have our being
is much like original oatmeal

difficult to get right
and when you are done
you have a hell of a
mess
you have to clean up

ah

but hooray for the sticky goodness
of a life that sticks to our
spiritual bones
and leaves us full
and
wanting
more
