Thank you for shining a light on the injustices in Florida, as well as offering all of us a little grace. I am particularly moved by your idea of humility: But she is me, and that reminder brings a sort of true humility. Thanks again. You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite preachers!

I so appreciate you reading and your thoughtful comments. I'm glad we connected! Your weekly poetry discipline is an inspiration.

To the humility comment, I once read a prison chaplain describing the difference between someone who sees their past crimes/harms as being done by a different person versus someone who understands and integrates that past self into who they are and how they show up in the world now. I've tried to take a more integrative approach ever since, and I think it's helping me in discernment.
