		<description><![CDATA[Preface: Lately, I have been contemplating who will be in the kin-dom of God. In the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Luke 14:15-24), Jesus said that those who will come into the kin-dom are the &#8220;the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.&#8221; After reading the rest of the kin-dom parables, and watching Beasts of the Southern Wild, this is the poem that sprung up within me. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; god calls the lowly, the foreigner, the strange, widows, adulterer, the prostitute and the middle manager working to survive to rest god desires the misspeller, girls playing house and abused mothers, beggars, crusties, and the misunderstood transgendered male to rejoice god seeks the bruised cantaloupe, the rotting apples, diseased celery, god seeks overwatered broccoli and beetle-bitten beans to resurrect god sends away the rich, the wise, the schooled, those who have cabinets full and four bank accounts, those who house cars, who buy healthcare for their pets, the middle class to reject god chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to no-thing things that are. 1 Corinthians 1:28]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The summer staff eats dinner together every night. We talk about the evening program and our days with the groups. There comes a breaking point where laughter erupts and the conversation devolves into mindless rumble. Last week, this laughter evolved into playful criticism towards me. I lead the music for the evening program and I am not ashamed to say I pick songs that are indie. You know, songs from bands that no one has ever heard of or songs originally sung in different languages? The staff complained of hearing the same songs each week, although the youth love the songs that I play and every week sing with a different group. They called me a pseudo-hipster, which infuriated me and I proceeded in pretending to throw things and destroy the office. One song that I adore is a Spanish worship song titled Montaña by Salvador. The lyrics are thus: If you have faith like a seed of a mustard That’s what the Lord has said If you have faith like a seed of a mustard That’s what the Lord has said You can say to the mountain move away move away You can say to the mountain move away move away And the mountain will move away move away move away And the mountain will move away move away move... ]]></description>
