An offering here for the planting and here for the harvest. A sacrifice here for victory and here for recovery. An altar here to Athena, and here to Hephaestus, and here to an unknown god.

Sometimes, all that we can do is put one foot in front of the other, and take the next step, and do the next thing, and hope.

I didn't know a lot of things when I was 10 or 12 or 20. I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a living. I didn’t know if I wanted to have kids or not. I didn’t know about some major life changes. But I did know what gender I was.

We are alive. We are loved and worthy of love. God is not done with us yet. That is the whole reason that we are here.
