"And when that day comes, I'll also give thanks for all those buckets who brought me to this welling moment" -Macrina Wiederkehr, A Tree Full of Angels

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. -James 1:27 NRSV

Part of the Precipitate

There's an old Chemistry saying/joke that says "if you're not part of the solution you are part of the precipitate" and for you non-chemistry people like me, precipitate is the leftover waste after a mixture is turned into a solution. Stress causes a lot of issues and this week has been very stressful, but you can choose to be part of the solution and take the high road or be part of the precipitate and be pessimistic about it all and let it get you down. In riding yourself of the precipitate (all of the junk that bogs you down) you can see the goodness of it all and know that God is holding you through all of the rain (a different use of precipitation).
