Life is Messy

" That is not dance, ....

When without pain of love and separation,

You rise like dust from the midst of the gathering,

That is not dance

That is dance, .....When you leave two worlds and rise,

Tear your heart .... and give up life, ....

That is the dance " ....

Life is messy

Life hurts

When we avoid the difficult stuff

And create worlds of our own making

We miss life

We miss the dance

The dance is tiring

Wild

Sometimes scary

And at other times painful

But it is better than

The alternative

PS:  I am going on record now as saying that the faux

“war against Christians” and “war against Christianity”

Would make Jesus sad.

American Christians and American Christianity is not persecuted

It is just entitled. And shallow.

If you insist on posting silly memes about how you can’t say “Merry Christmas”,

You really need to spend some time with God

And you need to look at what religious persecution really looks like

Talk to a Muslim in America

Or a Christians in other parts of the world
