Fraying At the Edge (2016)
“Spending most of Sunday morning wallowing in remorse and regret wasn’t helping. She had to pull herself together.
She reached toward the nightstand and ran her hand across her tattered Bible. Some witness for God she’d turned out to be. She pulled the Bible into her lap and opened it, feeling the thin, delicate pages before skimming a few passages. It was no coincidence that the Word fell open to Luke, and her eyes immediately connected with the passage “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: c...ondemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.”
“Sounds great, God,” she muttered. “And I mean no disrespect, but how? I have no idea how to stop judging. Apparently I would fare just as well if You told me to stop longing for home. How?”
