Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.
— T.S. Eliot

Things that almost always move me to tears:
* an elderly man eating alone in a restaurant.
* a Lady Gaga ballad.
* the unprompted compassion of a child.
* a room full of people singing “It Is Well With My Soul.”
What about you?

A guy memorizing Phil 1:1-18 with us told me he was getting so much from it, he read it to a group recently. Got called a liberal. Gonna tell you right now, a lot of folks putting a checkmark in the Christian square are completely out of touch with the actual Jesus of Scripture.

The future of the Church in America is Christians who are disillusioned by power-broking leaders and disenchanted by the American Dream
and enchanted anew by the astounding wonder of a God who chose self-emptying as the greatest display of love.

Would you mind reaching out to people in healthcare and sending them love? The vitriol against them is intense right now.
They are beyond tired of being sacrificed on the altar of this nation's understanding of freedom.
We love you. We're sorry. Thank you. Again today.

The truth is, the church gathers around tables where tears flow and awkward sentences hang in the air, just as much as she gathers around a cross in the front of a sanctuary.
May you find the face of Jesus in the faces that meet yours with kindness.

The real Christmas story includes sorrow.
Wailing mothers.
Poverty.
Family neglect.
May we remember: to make space to worship Christ, we must make room within us for the sorrow of the world he entered.

You never know when you’re combing the tangles out of your little girls’ hair and parting them into French braids and bandaging scraped knees & rocking away heaps of tears that one day those little girls just may grow up to be your closest friends.
