" You can have your king-god. You can have your warrior-god. You can have your father-god. Today, I’m opting for the Mother-Hen-God. The God who welcomes all her children under her wings, no matter how they behave, or how they look, or what annoying and inappropriate things they do. The God who opens her heart of healing. The God who feels what I feel, who validates me as a mother, who assures me that when I have made mistakes, when I have wandered from the right path, and when I have been overwhelmed by the foxes, those holy wings are still spread over me, protecting me, sheltering me, keeping me safe, loving me. Leah D. Shade "

" The author reminds us today that Jesus was fully human and like us in all ways. This is a profound thought, and not to be brushed away without examination. If Jesus is like us in all ways, it means he is like us in all our gender and sexual diversity. He is heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, male, female, transgender, agender, and intersex. He is every variation imaginable, and then some. Fully like us. "
