Life with Leila Bee

"I swallow my words about how I, too, am nauseated by that fake niceness. My heart burns with the truth that hypocrisy is unacceptable. And I wish she could taste in my words the delicious flavor of authentic community, the kind where people completely unlike *you* come to feel like family. It’s the place where a college student, a dreamer, a homeless woman, a tired mother, a broken family, an artist, a man who has lost hope, and a brilliant intellectual with a PhD and a life plan are all on equal ground: sinners saved by grace through faith."
