Accidental Saints

Maybe God can use me despite the fact that I, in so many ways, am ill-suited for the work I do

Minister?

wow, I am so not spiritual

Counselor?

I am so messed up myself

What the heck is it about the Sacred One

God really needs to do a better job of screening

the people who are called to do Sacred work

the saints of today

are those who drink a little too much

the co-dependent

those struggling with mental illness

the grumpy

and even (perhaps) the greedy

but sainthood is not so much about us

as it is about God’s ability to work

through

us

so rock on

all you flawed people

all you

saints
