Perfect People

I’ve had a lifelong fascination with getting it right. Perfection, I’ve learned, is elusive.

OutWest today hit different. Luke 16:18 — “everyone who divorces and remarries commits adultery” — and I sat there thinking, huh.

Jesus said.. that? What a sad memory to share, Luke.

I’ve been divorced twice. The first was his choice. The second was mine. Both were good, hard, necessary decisions.

So where does that leave me? Am I supposed to wait around for an ex to catch up to the life I’m living now? Because honestly, being single fits. It is well with my soul.

The Bible has some passages that still make me scratch my head. No wonder I once had a very irreverent moment on a church lawn in Beaver a decade ago.

No, I didn’t pick it up. TMI, I know.
