deird1Rachel Held Evans has died, and I am sad.
For those of you who don't know, RHE was a Christian writer who was very influential in Evangelical and Progressive circles in recent years. I was a fan.
My sadness at her death kind of exists on two different levels:
1) She was a good writer and a lovely person, and it sucks that she died.
2) She was 37 (I'm 36), with a 3 year old son (mine is 4), and a 1 year old daughter (mine is 2).
MY GOODNESS am I not ready for people like me to be the ones dying. And I keep looking at my teeny kidlets and thinking about her teeny kidlets, and...
It's just so tragic that people die. Can we work on fixing that?
