…there might not be a bone in your body that wants to deal today.

And the kids might be darn grumpy today or you’ll get to church & then
it’s somebody else’s kids falling apart & the pastor’s had a hard week
& he’s winging it a bit & it’s all falling flatter than he’d care to admit.

And you’re straggling in feeling, honestly, a bit disheveled & bruised from a week
that’s got you swinging on the end of a fraying, thin thread of faith alone,
and it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing your brokenness bold for the world to see today,
or if this is the week you, or anybody else, has it all together
& is burying the brokenness under pressed & ironed clothes —

Every single one of us is The Busted who need a space of grace,
every single brave, beautiful one of us is The Busted
who need a space at the table to feast of great platters of grace
& heaping dishes of mercy & brimming pitchers of hope, even for us.

So, let it happen, this swinging open of the doors of the sanctuaries,
this making the Table longer, this laying out a spread of grace —
The Busted who are the Beloved just coming together for a washing of wounds
and a communion of refreshment and endless draughts of great grace.

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
