Voting and Messy Spirituality

No, I am not talking about spirituality within the context of politics, which truly can get quite messy.

I went to vote at 6 a.m. this morning at my local precinct which is in a small church.As I was standing in line I was looking at the artwork on the wall and some oversized postcards that had mini-devotionals on them. I was drawn to a statement about "Messy Spirituality.

Basically, it made reference to the idea that we are all broken and in need of repair. In fact, we are messy. But through it all God is with us. The statement ended with words to the effect that how spiritual it is that even with our mistakes and messes God still allows our light to shine through.

I found this to be very powerful and hope that this sharing encourages someone today.
