Upon my trauma, my ministry is being built.
Upon this I ponder: the two Soul-Sicknesses of our Times
I originally started writing my blog to talk about art, spirituality, and the intersection between the two. A year ago, I was dismissed from a church job that I held for about over 14 years. I stopped writing about hard things and all things spiritual. I started focusing on creativity and connecting with writers. I’m ready to write about hard things again. It’s time. Good friends of mine are hurting. I am hurting. We have to speak out when bad things happen, and it’s time for me to heal. In this blog series, I will turn to things that hurt – racism, narcissism, and more. I will rant, but know I’m also praying and healing and loving.
