Thank God for our Nonbinary* siblings!
The both/and
The not really,
the sort of
The people of twilights
sunrises and sunsets
The today I do this, and tomorrow I’ll do that.
The ones who escape easy definition,
and yet are so definitely
xe

co
them.
Here’s to those who help us to understand aspects of God,
That we never understood before,
male and female Both in the image of God.
Mother and Father God.
God of many breasts, God almighty, God of many mounds.
Here is to the enbys, whose sense of fashion is superior,
and yet we still don’t know how to market to them
(silly commercial straight/cis, whatever people)
Here is the the nonbinary people,
beautiful, perfect, made in God’s image.
God bless you.
Thank you.
I hope you are affirmed and blessed,
today and everyday.
Amen.

She is an writer and is published in Enfleshed, Sermonsuite, Presbyterian's today and Outlook. She writes prayers, liturgy, poems and public theology and is pursuing her doctorate in ministry in Creative Write and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
She enjoys working within and connecting to the community, is known to laugh a lot during service, and tells as many stories as possible. Pastor Katy loves reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, theater, arts and crafts, music, playing with children and sunshine, and continues to try to be as (w)holistically Christian as possible.
"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
