Get Messy
Plunging your hands into the soil. Turning a lump of clay on a pottery wheel. Slinging ingredients in the kitchen. These can be wonderful, messy outlets for creativity. You know what else is messy? Relationships. In this sermon Fr. Garrett explains how Jesus strode headlong into a messy relationship in order to open up creative possibilities for a better future. It is temping sometimes to pull back from other people whose problems are complicated and whose words and actions are not always exemplary. But then we remember that our lives are messy too and we sometimes speak and act in ways we regret, and that God wants to be involved with us and love us even so. If God’s willing to get messy, we can too.
