Kintsugi*

I brought three books with me while away in Mexico: 1) The Message (the physically smallest version of the Bible I own; I wanted to keep up with my study mates), 2) Crazy, Cracked, Warm and Deep (freshly published memoirs by my sister) and 3) The Church Cracked Open (for book group gathering when we get home). Yesterday I finished Susan B. Clarke’s memoirs. Today I read 1 Corinthians and the Introduction to Stephanie Speller’s treatise. I am in tears. These are exactly the books for me now.
