“Flip the Script” by The Rev. Kaji Douša
Many of the origin stories placed on us write in a God we’re told is angry at us, a people who disappoint God. These scripts ascribe emotions that do not come through in the text but that doesn’t matter because the scripts have been stronger. And imagine how that seeps into our lives, our assumptions about ourselves and who we are to God. And we become actors in a play that isn’t real…
But there is Good News here. Others may write us a script. We may even write our own. But God has even more than that. God has a plan. Which starts with love and then…doesn’t end.
