What do you say? It’s a Craigism and it confuses about half of you when I ask you that, so I stopped asking the question. What do you say is like a friendly hello. A variation of how are you? or what’s up? You can say whatever you want. You can say what is on your mind.

I see you. To be seen for who you are. To have someone get you. With all your idiosyncrasies and contradictions. A gift for the giver and the receiver. Pure grace.

We are not meant to carry everything alone. When something goes wrong between us, we need community. Not an audience or a jury. Not an angry mob, but a loving community.
