Joy Is a Golden-crowned Sparrow

This month I have the privilege of sharing a piece on joy for The Redbud Post, a monthly publication created by the members of my writer’s guild. I encourage you to read the other articles, too! They’re written by wise, gracious, and beautiful sisters in Christ. What a gift it is to write in and for community, surrounded by “the love of thousands,” as Chickasaw poet Linda Hogan describes the communion of saints—that great cloud of witnesses cheering us on, bearing witness to our many-foibled yet grace-laced lives—all the way to Glory, our first and final Home.
