At the smitten word, we celebrate grace, dabble in poetry, and write love letters to the broken, beautiful Church. We're passionate about justice, peacemaking, and issues impacting women. Culture, mothering, and natural living round out the menu.
I'm convinced that some of the most powerful words in our language are: You, too? Me, too. The musical RENT spoke of "connection in an isolating age" years before social media highlighted the space between us. Many of us live far from family, parent littles, and don't do much porch-sitting in neighborhoods filled with people like us. The whir of postmodern life left us lacking community and solitude both. I find some of it in the writing and the wrestling--and in you. I remember who my God is and hear whispers of another Way. Written threads are lifelines, and every space is hallowed, even here.
My younger self played the religion/history scholar, urban-dwelling youth minister, and housing authority civil servant. These days, home is a western Pennsylvania summer camp that has served kids and Jesus for nearly one hundred years. My husband and I raise children (3 & 5) and chickens, and I write the intersections of the Kingdom of God at naptime.
