Now, I believe there is a serious place for awe, for reverence, for silence and stillness before God. But it seems that I go to that extreme too often. There is definitely a place for joy and celebration!! We’ve been liberated! That should excite us! I think it is exciting us. I know I feel it in my church family. I believe something amazing is happening there, and too many of you have told me you feel it too for me to dismiss it. A beautiful thing is happening. I can’t quite get my head wrapped around it to describe it, but it has something to do with LOVE, TRANSPARENCY, BEING REAL, LETTING OUR WALLS DOWN, admitting we don’t have it all together and we are tired of pretending that we do. And people it is FREEING! I can see it in your eyes as you talk to me and feel it in your arms as you wrap me up in a hug, and I see it among you as I look across the church building. We are LOVING each other for the messes we are, loving without reserve and it is just exciting. Sara Walker 2011
