Empty your pockets

I picked up Yancey's book Church: Why bother? His story closely resembles my own. He began in fundamentalist christianity, but as an adult struggled with God. I would be happy to throw in the towel on the church, but I haven't been able to. There is still a draw for me. Not because I believe it makes me a better person. Not because someone told me I needed to be there. Somewhere in the midst of the mess of redeemed humanity, there is grace.

Those little pockets of grace.
