Q: What does it mean to be human?
A: To read the Psalms and in one, final, exasperated breath to beg God to speak into places of incredible suffering.
At least that's how this morning's Psalm read for me.
Q: What does it mean to read the Gospels?
A: To find yourself sitting in a boat with Jesus, a little grumpy because your bum is sore from sitting too long, and after a somewhat awkward, fed-up Jesus tells you off for "still not getting it" you, Jesus and your friends all burst out laughing the way you did as a child when your mom would genuinely be trying to discipline you but you would just end up making her laugh.
These days Holy Scripture feels profoundly human to me. And I am blessed because of it.
