Beauty & brokenness meet

There is this odd scene near the end of the Gospel of Mark. There’s an innocent man nailed upon a wooden cross.  Jesus hangs in excruciating pain and while gasping for air he utters one final desperate cry of divine abandonment.

Broken I – Repulsive

Think of the most violent, horrific, and inhumane act you can imagine. I can’t quite say the words, but you know the ones. I’ve done them. Repeatedly. People look at me in disgust. But it’s really love in excess, maybe misdirected. What can I do, when my love comes out the wrong way? When it’s [...]
