“We wear masks, and with practice we do it better and better, and they serve us well—except that it gets very lonely inside the mask that each of us wears there is a person who both longs to be known and fears to be known.”
Frederick Buechner
The Hungering Dark
And I am tired of my mask. So much of Christianity is about pretending. Gotta keep up the profile of “Good Christian Woman.” Arrrgghhhh! I can’t do that anymore. I don’t want a faith that is like a coat I put on to impress people. I want something more. I want faith in the marrow of my bones. So here I am taking off my mask.
