We are all imperfect and messy simply because we are human. But we are also loved no matter what simply because we are human. Join me each week as we explore our belovedness through the wisdom of great spiritual writers as well as the wisdom of ordinary human beings living imperfect, yet blessed human lives. Let us journey together towards a better understanding of this magnanimous love God offers so we can build a foundation for ourselves that can and will change the world.
