The Bible praises a “crazy lady.” Her name is Anna. She is a widow, old, poor, and discovers her savior. She goes about telling everyone. She bothers people with her solution to a full life. I think of poor, elderly women coming up to me and telling me all about their saving discovery. I judge them as ‘Crazy Lady.” How narrow minded I am. Her type is in a Holy Book. I bet Bill Wilson was thought to be crazy by many when he told everyone about his solution to alcoholism practice. God does not always speak to me in my comfort zone. Any crazy ladies reading my blogs?
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!

I've been crazy but thankfully returned to sanity through grace and working the 12 steps Bill and Bob created. ❤️
