Out of Emptiness…Everything

Someone once, during Holy Week, made a not-altogether-complimentary reference to “Lisa and her little hopes.”

I suppose hope is one of the central virtues and perhaps weaknesses not just, as it is sometimes said, of liberal theology in general, but of my own personal theology as well. I don’t ignore the long night that must precede the dawn or the gaping emptinesses that sometimes overtake us when previously whole lives are cracked.
