"God simply keeps reaching down into the dirt of
humanity and resurrecting us from the graves we dig for ourselves through our
violence, our lies, our selfishness, our arrogance, and our addictions. And God
keeps loving us back to life over and over.”
― Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of
a Sinner & Saint

another year ends
it was kind of a dirty year
I can think of no other way to think about it
as we wallowed in the mud and filth of
ugly politics
ongoing wars
more shootings
more radical ideology, crushing compassion and common sense
and as I stumbled through
another year of
errors and failures
all my precious own
it was another year of slowly
sinking into the dirt
it is a good thing
God does not mind getting the Sacred hands dirty
For God reaches down into the dirt
And again and again
(and again)
to lift me up
lift you up
and love us back to life again
happy new year!
