Clarification

To explain that post about "revolutionary love":

"Not better. Just here." is a reference to the book I've recently finished reading - This Beautiful Mess by Rick McKinley. In it, McKinley is telling these beautiful stories of people who make a conscious decision to live in this beautiful mess, the kingdom of God on earth. He writes of a couple of girls who decide they're going to "adopt" a building filled with mothers in rehab. Despite the womens' mistrust of them and their preppy college girl clothes, the girls showed up week after week to love. "We're not better. We're just here." the girls would say. That's the attitude I want to live my life in. I want to show up again and again and again to love. I want to be present. I want to serve with the attitude that I'm not better, but I'm here. I hope that in those moments, God will show up and do something powerful.

So that's just it.

I'm not better. I'm just here.
