Jesus: raised by love.
Queer families: same vibe. ✨

Funny how compassion
is always “too radical.” 😏

SUCH A BUSY SUNDAY (illust. by Mati Ark), forthcoming Apr 1, is not about homophobia in the Church or being different, just a fun picture book about 2 kids with 2 dads who go to church as part of their very busy Sunday, taking for granted both sexuality & faith.

The front and back cover of SUCH A BUSY SUNDAY, written by Lawrence Schimel & illustrated by Mati Ark. Front cover shows one side of a church with a diverse mix of people in the pews, with rays of light shining through the stained glass windows and illuminating brother and sister who are walking down the aisle looking for where the family will sit. Back cover has a brief description of the story, then a spot illo of Tina playing with dog, in same green shirt and purple skirt as on front cover, who is wearing a hat, then bios for author and illustrator. https://bookshop.org/p/books/such-a-busy-sunday-lawrence-schimel/df2a95ee3e12e331?ean=9780829805109&next=t #affirmingChurch #lgbtqChristian #lgbtChristian #progressiveFaith #LoveIsLove #InclusiveChurch

“Living as God intended” isn’t about purity culture or rule-following.
It’s about mending what’s broken—
relationships, communities, creation itself.

Let’s stop chasing heaven and start restoring Eden. 💫

So no, I don’t buy every word.
But I get the burn.

You don’t need a manual to feel the fire.
And sometimes, fire is enough.

Peter wasn’t explaining God.
He was setting people on fire.

That’s what truth does sometimes.
Even when it’s messy.
Even when it doesn’t convince.
It moves you.

And that might be enough.

Feeling deeply is not something to be ashamed of.
It means you’re awake. It means you’re connected.
And we need more of that.

You don’t need to twist yourself into something smaller just to fit in.
You were already whole. Already worthy. Already enough.

You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to step back.
Burnout isn’t proof of passion—it’s proof of a broken system.

You’ll have days where you fall apart. That doesn’t mean you’re back at zero.
Progress is messy.
But it’s still progress.
