Carriers of Love
| The Rev. Joyce KeeshinCarriers of Love
We live in a time when the proclaiming of Christ's word may
sometimes be used to divide us, not unite us.
To judge us, separate us from one another. The distortion of Christ's message of love
may be used to sound exclusive instead of the inclusive example Jesus actually
taught and lived. Sometimes it feels
heartbreaking that truth and faith and love can become so distorted and
weaponized for very human agendas.
In our very human lives, we may witness many divisions from politics to economics, to ecology, to healthcare, to diet, to education, to government, to justice. The list could go on and on. We see these divisions in headlines, in conflicts involving power, violence, manipulation, and distortion. We see these in our communities, in country, and around the world.
And we often experience divisions in close relationships, within families, friendships, with colleagues, neighbors, others in our communities. We can be very clear about our experiences, our judgments, to respond to others. And we respond to others with judgment, accordingly, without effort, to find a place of listening, of reconciliation, of unity.

WLSU, A Really Broken Ankle
| Guest SpeakerWLSU, A Really Broken Ankle
It was one of
those mornings. In the labyrinthine hallways of the ministorage, where I was
converted through the incredulous look and gentle words of Jamie, one of my
dearest pals. I crutched around a corner
with a pillow in my teeth to meet Jamie, who was returning to the unit for
another load. He looked at me for a
second with that look of surprise, and, then, with a measure of concern, said,
“Jimmy, what are you doing.” Through clenched teeth, I said, “I’m helping. I
can still help.” To which he responded something like, “if we need that kind of
help from you right now, we are in real trouble.”
I was good at helping. I was good at giving. I was good at being there for folks in need. I was and still am almost always game for showing. I was no good at receiving. I wasn’t any good at letting others give me a bit of help or care along the way, and my unwillingness to ever be set to receive, rather than send, impeded my real ability to experience the kind of community that I had envisioned to build in this new venture. It was a block for me, and my dear friends stupefied gaze and matter of fact words caused me to turn around and see how The capital K Kingdom wouldn’t work without a real measure of interdependence. How we can’t just give, give, give. How something loving like giving can become absurd under certain circumstances. A grown man, on crutches, with a pillow in his teeth at 7:30 in the morning with a hive of people working around me.

Superlatives
| The Rev. Melanie W. J. SlaneSuperlatives
When I was graduating high school, our yearbook staff held an election for hope in the form of our senior superlatives. You all may remember these from that time in your life. Each day at the lunch period, for a week, students could go to the special table in the lunchroom and cast their vote for their peers, that they felt were well deserving of a title that would mark the reality of the present, but also to help propel that person forward into the world with a community affirmed identity.
There was most likely to succeed. Life of the party, most kind, class clown, best smile, and most likely to run for president.
We waited with anticipation for the votes to be counted, the answers would be printed in our senior yearbook, enshrined for all to see, a symbol of our hope for what was to come. I remember huddling in the hallway with my friends as I ran my finger down the list, reading at a rapid pace. There was my name, Melanie Jonakopoulos: biggest tree hugger.

WLSU, An Intervention (Transformed by Love)
| Guest SpeakerWLSU, An Intervention (Transformed by Love)
My cousin had somehow convinced me that we could get away with smoking in my Granny’s bathroom. I have no idea why I believed him. There wasn't a chance that we weren't going to get snared.
Later, when my mum questioned me, I knew that we were busted and there was no point trying to hide it. So I told her the truth. And — as our conversation went on — I told her the whole truth. It wasn't just the smoking. My friends and I had been stealing booze, getting drunk and putting ourselves in seriously dangerous situations. I knew I had screwed things up. I knew I had broken the rules. I knew I was in serious, serious trouble.
My mum, as you can imagine, was devastated. It was heartbreaking to come clean and see what I was putting her through. What scared me, however, was what would happen my dad found out. I begged her not to tell him but she wouldn't keep it from him. He was away for a couple of weeks so I lived in fear of what was to come.
When he came home, mum told him everything and he came straight to me. He told me to get in the car. Too afraid to ask any questions, I obeyed. I got in with no idea where we were going.

In Weakness, God is There
| Tym HouseIn Weakness, God is There
I do believe Paul's point is easily made at the end of our
reading. And that is that God's power is
made stronger in our human weakness.
Therefore, boasting and weakness allows for Christ's power and grace to be made more evident. Or, in our English translation of this, it's perfected. But why? Why is the divine's power perfected in weakness? Maybe because when human weakness is exposed, we get to see our gracious and compassionate God do things our humanity cannot do well on its own.
Maybe because in weakness, one must rely on something else beyond themselves to overcome. Maybe because in weakness, God likes to use those spaces to do things that exceed our expectations. Or maybe because in our boasting about our strength, we lose sight for our need of God and we think we can do things on our own.

Can we rest yet? Is it time? The dizzying, never-ending buzz, the exhausting, contentious election season, It feels like the answer is no, right?
