Joy is not dependent on circumstances

This, from my new church which I have not been able to attend for the past few weeks, is so good it makes me weep.  It is truly speaking to all the questions and struggles I have right now.  To me, this is exactly what I need in a church (besides weekly Eucharist, which they have) - sound, thoughtful theology that wrestles with our own experience and speaks the Word.  I don't need theology that takes resurrection and twists it to mean exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to mean.  I need hope in the Risen One.
