But know that it all comes out of a place of deep love for God and the Church. There are inevitably things that drive us nuts about such an imperfect (i.e., human)institution. Yet if we can't observe and comment on our own foibles we're left withoutmuch hope. And anyway if God doesn't have a sense of humor, I'm hosed." For followers of Lent Madness, Tim's blog, and those who appreciate church humor and his earlier book, What Size are God's Shoes: Kids, Chaos, and the Spiritual Life
