It is heartbreaking to see another homeless person on the corner of the road.
Sometimes, I have something to give,
sometimes, I don’t have anything.
Although, I remember, I can always pray for them to find the help they need,
to proceed,
through life.
Bless Jerry and help him to feel at home on this side of eternity.
After all, this is not our home.
We are all just passing through.
It’s true,
We are all just passing through.
Bless Johnny and I can picture him with a brand new leg that’s not artificial.
God‘s love and healing is always so splendidly sacrificial.
We are all just passing through.
It’s true,
We are all just passing through.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

You always have something to give, even when it doesn’t seem so. Prayer is powerful, prayer works. And then we pray that they recognize the help that God sends when He sends it. That’s how He works.
