An “Opinionated Old Fart” Takes on Sin Boldly

A wonderful fellow named Clyde (that’s him in the hat and specs) out there in Beverly Hills has a really smart, fun, spiritually groovy blog called, “An Opinionated Old Fart Lives to Fight Another Day.” Frankly, we’re a little in love.

We here at GG love Clyde and his musings, and so we were particularly chuffed to see his marvelous take on Sin Boldly.

Here’s a bit of what Clyde had to say:

Her style, exhibits her own uniqueness as a writer, but could be described as Anne Lamott meets David Sedaris. She is a storyteller above all and the stories of the people and places she encounters, around the world, on her quest to find grace are each unique expressions of finding grace when she least expected it or when she needs it the most. For the author grace is the “lagniappe” of life. This lagniappe, a cajun word to describe that surprise bonus given to customers for good measure, is there for each of us every day.

Reading her book reinforced the grace I’ve seen in the people of my faith community ovhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifer the past few weeks as I recover from illness and a hospital stay. “Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don’t deserve.” Thankfully, it’s all about grace.

But, oy! Annie AND David? Be still our fluttery little hearts! Bless you, Clyde. GG is totally kvelling over the compliment.

And btw, we here at GGHQ are praying for Clyde’s speedy and full recovery. Please join us in lifting Clyde to his Maker.

Grace and peace to you tonite, brother.
