Tomorrow my wife and I fly from Kansas City to Portland, Oregon for the funeral of a nephew who, high on meth, walked in front of a truck. Deliberately. Several years ago his brother died of a heroin overdose. There is great evil loose in the world and all too many of the people I know just think the church is supposed to make us "nice" people. I'm a big fan of Fleming Rutledge and Robert Farrar Capon who said "Jesus did not come to reward the rewardable, improve the improvable, or correct the correctable, he came to raise the dead".

Love this. Sometimes I look around at my local church and think to myself, “What in the hell are we doing?”

And thanks for hosting my daughter, Gaby, yesterday. 😊
