"His welcome is lavish to the point of immoderacy; his hospitality so gratuitous it leaves me scarlet-cheeked, clutching my pearls at the scandal of it all."
This reminds me of someone's comment once that, if "prodigal" means "wasteful," wasn't the Father the most prodigal of all? Thank you for this. I laughed out loud. And it lined up perfectly with today's readings according to the the Catholic liturgy!
Can we please get an audio recording of this too? I heard it live at the event; I was crying laughing and then smiling through tears--she read just as as well as she writes y'all
Your writing is wonderful! Such a clear, half-smirking voice accompanied by precise language and—can it be?—correct grammar! I see your labor and I bless it. God has ripened you up, girl!
I love this. Your writing is delightful and your stories so relatable. I am truly admiring your gift (and truly not wishing you any hamstrings). I hope you'll delight us with a book someday.
I was just like Kate as Teenager a generation earlier. Only I didn’t take it to the point of planning for literal martyrdom. I stopped with eating grubs!

Funny and profound both. What a combination. And a great last line: "yes, I really just might be beloved."

Your writing is hilariously, and at the same time makes so many good points. Thanks for the excellent read!
Thank you for this!
I am dying! Dispensationalist raccoon. What a line. Thank you for all of this!
