Living Thoughtfully & Loving Meaningfully
One Progressive Urban Theologian's Reflections On Life & Love
Yes, the blessings of God are abundant, far more abundant than we usually give God credit for, but they also bring complexity, challenges, and chaos into our lives. But Mary doesn’t simply “get it,” she names it with exquisite clarity and painful honesty. The question is therefore not whether or not an abundant life is also chaotic, but rather how we will understand and respond to that chaos.
"We could, if we let it, allow the craziness of the world around us to cause us to become grumpy old people... I feel like Alice as she fell through the looking glass and nothing makes sense anymore. I could simply grumble under my breath, or curl up under the comforter on my bed… Or I could listen to the words of scripture that invite me to a different way of living in the world, to a way of Joy. Let us choose joy this day. "
