I don't know why, but I have been grieving over this gay bishop thingie for the past few days. I have no idea why it has bothered me so much - maybe its just the prospect that the church is perhaps in stages of falling away or maybe it could be the very scary prospect of God judging our country. I don't know. I just know I have been thinking about it cutting grass, watching TV, blogging, especially in my devotions. It is like I have lost a relative that I really don't know but yet I feel grief and I really don't understand why. I felt this way when I lost my estranged grandfather. I never knew him - but when he died I felt a loss - but it was a different kind of loss. Not the kind I felt when I lost my grandfather that I was close to. Anyway - I just feel really sad. Sad for the episcopal church. Sad for the people in the system America calls church. Sad for Gene Robinson. Sad for a people who have a form of godliness but lack the power thereof. Please pray for me. I am grieved over a church that because of our sins keeps our Father from taking us under His wing. Yes - MY sins too.
God have mercy on us.
