"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection."
Anais Nin.

Blessed are the physically repulsive,
Blessed are those who smell bad,
The twisted, misshapen, deformed,
The too big, too little, too loud,
The bald, the fat and the old –
For they are all riotously celebrated in the party of Jesus
Blessed are the flunk-outs and drop-outs and burned-outs,
The broke and broken.
The drug-heads and the divorced,
The HIV-positive and herpes-ridden,
The brain-damaged, the incurably ill.
The barren and the pregnant too many times or at the wrong time,
The over-employed, the under-employed, the unemployed. The unemployable.
The swindled, the shoved aside, the replaced.
The parents with children living on the streets, the children with parents not dying in the ‘rest’ home.
The lonely, the incompetent, the stupid. The emotionally starved, or emotionally dead.
The murderers and child-molesters.
The brutal and the bigoted.
The drug lords and pornographers,
War criminals and sadists,
Terrorists,
The perverted and the filthy and the filthy rich.
Hope shall be restored to them in the quietly transforming friendship of Jesus.
- Dallas Willard “The Divine Conspiracy”
