hold on

"Hold on as the very ground beneath us starts to shiver and shake. When you love as hard as this there's bound to be some trembling, some risk, some stakes...something lost and something gained and little earthquakes..."
--Carrie Newcomer, "Little Earthquakes"

Ministry offers more metaphor, more opening, more possibilities for expression than almost every other walk of life...it's a marriage it's a tree, it's parenting, it's art, it's craft, it's love, it's a calling, it's a call, it's cliff diving, it's herding cats, it's an unending dance it's holding hope it's pushing justice it's fear and reckless abandon and careful consideration and always, always always it is hope.
