Comment on Longer Tables by Katie Cassady https://unexpectedhoney.com/longer-tables/#comment-218 Thu, 22 Sep 2022 14:31:47 +0000 https://unexpectedhoney.com/?p=2395#comment-218 In reply to Stephanie Kritzberger.

Thanks, Stephanie. It is a tricky time to navigate next steps. I appreciate your creativity and am also frustrated by the response you received. I take heart in Dorothy’s prayer: ‘We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as our friend.’

Comment on Longer Tables by Stephanie Kritzberger https://unexpectedhoney.com/longer-tables/#comment-206 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 20:39:13 +0000 https://unexpectedhoney.com/?p=2395#comment-206 I read that issue also and was surprised at the lack of articles on adoption and foster care. There is a huge waitlist and cost for adoption of infants but not many resources within the church for assistance to families wanting to pursue that option. That’s not even addressing the lack of foster families and need of those families for older kids. I looked into the ‘safe haven baby box” program and brought it up as something that could be done in Denver in response to the Dobbs decision but was met with a simple “that’s just not the culture in Denver.” I wasn’t sure how to interpret that… meaning we shouldn’t even try to give women the option? Would it overburden our already burdened down foster system with more children? I think, at it’s heart, the church, isn’t as pro-life as it proclaims. I’ve heard claims that the earliest Christians used to take in pagan infants that were going to be sacrificed. It takes a village; I agree we’re all the body of Christ from conception to natural death. Until the church embraces this reality fully, the rest of the culture won’t change.

Loved this piece as a gardener, land owner, mother, woman, and (often thirsty) child of God.

Comment on Jonah, my personality twin by Katie Cassady https://unexpectedhoney.com/jonah-my-personality-twin/#comment-74 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 18:30:16 +0000 https://unexpectedhoney.com/?p=2141#comment-74 In reply to Cate Labish.

Yes! So often fear gets in the way, so thank goodness for reluctant Jonahs who eventually get the message. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks, Cate.

I really appreciate your sentence “our level of anxiety is not proportionate to its impending failure.” Don’t we need to be reminded of that time and again?! How often we use human fear of failure as an excuse for not taking a risk that God is asking of us.

Thank you for this honest and thought-provoking reflection!
