Jesus and Me
My conversion to a more rigorous and intellectually upgraded Christianity seems to be fragmenting to pieces.
But, then again, anything that is artificial in me -- let it break.
I'm beginning to sense that real holiness is going to turn out to be far different than I'd imagined it to be. I thought I'd imagined it devastatingly well, when in fact I'd imagined it devastatingly.
Holiness, I believe, is going to have to begin with some grassroots gratitude for things just as they are and just as they were. No overcoat of gloss, no sanding over the rough edges, no erasing the splotches . . . .
