Ministry is a place where
three-legged dogs teach
and learn from others how to
thrive in their broken
joyfulness.
There is no such thing as
a profession; not only are we
all amateurs, but we are also
all
engaged in its practice, for
better or worse, in blindness or
lucidity,
denial or hopefulness, anxiety
or grace.
Showing up, even and especially
when we are convinced
of our own incompetence,
is the surest recipe
for faith and commitment.
Hold to these ingredients in
love,
prayer, and all of life, and
your soul
shall always hunger but never
starve.
