I’m old enough to remember merry-go-rounds on the playground. You could push your friends around, go slowly by yourself, or have a friend push you until the wind made your hair crazy and you felt sick. When it came time to slow it down, you would reach out your hand and let the bars lightly hit it as they flew past, walking the line between actually slowing it down and breaking your hand. They were a source of laughter but also a little scary and not the play of choice for someone like me who got dizzy easily.

As with all things in life, I never know how much I have or how much I need what I have until it is taken away. If you’ve been around for the past three and half years, you know how much my new church has helped me to heal, how it has been a place I’ve purposely built strong community, that it’s the place I work and serve, that it has meant the world to my children, and how I couldn’t love it more.

Did you have a best friend growing up? Maybe you’re an adult and still have a best friend. I had a tumultuous relationship with the whole best friend idea. Being homeschooled in a small church didn’t leave a lot of options for finding the perfect best friend. I cried a lot of tears during my teenage years over relationships that were less than ideal. I had some people that were really good friends, but that was back in the day when we had to write letters by hand. My world really opened up when email became a thing!
