Unsettled. I can’t find a more apt word to capture my mood. Unsettled by the superficiality of our current culture; unsettled by the constant roar of heated and pointed (and often pointless) rhetoric on social media. Unsettled by the barrage of ‘News Flashes’ repeating the same information. Unsettled by the lack of depth in my own soul. Unsettled by the fracturing I see daily – individuals, families, communities all slowly (some not so slowly) failing to sustain what could have been a remarkable place to live.
Unsettled. Longing for what is to be, instead of settling for what is. Join me in being unsettled, longing for what could be.
Longing leads to engagement. 32 years in this community, serving as pastor, praying with, praying over, pleading with, pleading for a peace that passes understanding, searching for firm and solid ground on which to build a life. Unsettled.
Engaging.
Persisting.
