From my Substack: On Getting in the Mood
"The United States of America is still very young, and right now it shows. We are spoiled children, always taking what we want and whining like a grounded teenager if we somehow can’t get it. The nation is great, but she is also aspirationally great. We have not yet grown into our pants. The soul of the nation must ripen. If she is to survive, she must become the nation all our fine words paint he

| This book is not a gulp. This book is not to be slammed like a shot of whiskey. This book is not a social media post. This is a quiet book, a cup of tea, if you will, that is best savored. Like a forest regenerating, it cannot—and should not—be force ...more | |

“Don’t you get it? Nobody belongs.” She leaned toward me, her green eyes thoughtful now, her fingers pulling at the hem of her nightshirt. “We like to think we do. We set ourselves up in families and communities and clubs and castes, and we think that’s going to make us feel less lonely. But it doesn’t. Because nobody on this earth is going to truly understand you. You’ll never belong anywhere. The only person you belong to is God. And the only place you will belong is heaven. And until you realize that, Meryn, you won’t be happy anywhere.”

“I expect that someday you’ll have to deal with a little girl just as defiant as you were. But you’ll be glad she defies you, in spite of your frustrations, because you’ll know she has the courage to take on the world if she ever has to.”

“In a world that didn’t accept the word of a woman as a valid witness, Jesus chose women as witnesses for his resurrection. In a world that gave husbands power over the very lives of their wives, Paul told husbands to do the opposite—to give up their lives for their wives. In a world that saw women as biologically deformed men, monstrous even, Paul declared that men were just like women in Christ.”

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Christians that oppression is godly. Their God ordained some people, simply because of their sex or skin color (or both), as belonging under the power of other people.”
