We probably ought to be careful about deciding we're feeling offended: it can get old after a while.
And we become offended in all the ways God isn't.
The seat of offendedness (like the seat of judgment) can be a really tricky spot to occupy.
Before we know it, offense can become a twenty-four-hour-a-day job.
It becomes all we're known for, and when we're all caught up in all the things we're against, we forget the beauty of the things we're supposed to be for.
We forget what the kingdom of God looks like and all the wonderfully odd characters taking up residence there.
We forget to revel in dappled things.
We forget we're dappled.
