Today is my anniversary. I’m not one for PDA on social. It weirds me out. So instead of telling you how much I love this guy, because I already told him to his actual face, I want to tell you what fourteen years of marriage has been like.
Hard. J/k. Sort of. And beautiful.

Thick & Thin Thick and thin is what this life is. I hold inside of me the seasons of darkness as well as the Life of Light. I do not shed who I used to be; I hold her dear to me. That gone girl is not gone. She holds a page in my book. Her shadows are what make her. I can smell her Menthol Milds and her Marlboro Lights in her black and white hair. I taste her sensuality and her rebellion. She is thrashing about to find her way. And there is no other way into the …

There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light get’s in. -Leonard Cohen All the windows in the room of life feel broken. Difficult relationships. Lost jobs. Lost friends. Cancer. Unemployment. Wayward teenagers. Innocent children shot in our streets. A lifetime of dysfunction does not heal in a single night. A system of oppression does not end with a verdict. A new pair of blue jeans doesn’t mend a broken heart. New jobs don’t soften the sting of resignations and rejection. I’m wandering around the room looking for Light, begging Hope to show up. I can’t go back to the days when …

Today is the day after the resurrection. I’m sitting outside on this perfect dewy morning thinking about the Easter celebration. We have family in town and it always feels so good to stand next to the people you love in worship and in claiming your Belief. A dear friend of mine visited our tiny church and her very presence, so quiet and sincere, ushers in a Holy Spirit feeling. Worship was raucous. The band missed a few words in the songs which I always love because no one in our tiny church cares and we are all singing loudly on …
