These are my broke-ass shoes. I wanted to get new ones today, but today sucked. Some of our pipes leaked and there was some water damage to some expensive wood in Rich’s shop. There is the stress that comes with being self-employed. There is a kid’s car that has a dead battery (and they need the car to work, but haven’t had enough hours to really afford the fix needed for the car). We’ve been driving people around since 6:30 this morning and won’t be done with that until after 10 tonight. And I get it. It‘s not bad like someone died or we got a terrible diagnosis or a kid got hurt or we were the victims of a chemical attack or the victims of systemic oppression or anything like that. But I’m not going to hashtag blessed because it still sucked. And if we want folks to be honest about the not perfect parts of their lives, we need to be able to post about the just not great parts of life without comparing it to the other REALLY bad days. Sometimes our shoes and pipes are just busted and we need to say that it sucks.

Excited to see our church taking these steps to becoming a #reconcilingministries congregation. Praying for the #UMC to change its stance towards LGBTQ people, but recognizing that we must do what we can locally. Praying for members to choose love and inclusion.
