Through my work on the inpatient ward, I hear so much about the depth of human depravity that there is now very little in the way of interpersonal chaos that I find shocking. I have seen my patients mired in every kind of clay imaginable; occasionally I wonder how they are able to find life bearable. So it should not have come as a surprise the announcement that my pastor is being placed on an indefinite leave of absence for an ‘improper relationship’ with another woman. Yet I can’t help but feel an intense sadness tonight.

I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe the moons were simply never aligned for a life in this city.
