LoudLit.org I am nothing On a scale of one to ten, how good of a cog are you? How well do you function in your assigned role? How much of a man or woman are you? How do you know? This is, of course, the path of insanity, and not the good kind of insanity. What will you do if you're too tough to be a good woman, too sensitive to be a good man, too selfish to be a good husband, too lazy to be a good employee, too shy to be a good friend, too caring to be rational, too fat to be pretty, too effeminate to be straight, too introverted to be a good leader, too smart to be kind, too young to be taken seriously, too old to make a difference, or too far behind to even get in the race? These are all false standards and false dichotomies, but they are so common and so ingrained that we sometimes believe in them without even realizing it. That is all so exhausting. I am nothing. But I am nothing, and so I am finally free to be myself. This isn't license to stagnate.

Courtney Perry Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber admits that she does not look — or act — like a typical church leader. But she was drawn to Lutheran theology, and when a group of friends asked her to give a eulogy for another friend who had committed suicide, Bolz-Weber discovered her calling. Bolz-Weber tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that while addressing the crowd of "academics and queers and comics and recovering alcoholics" at the funeral, she realized: "These people don't have a pastor, and maybe that's what I'm supposed to do." After going to seminary, Bolz-Weber founded a church in Denver called The House for All Sinners and Saints. Interview Highlights Nobody ever meets me and guesses.

Mr Jenkins, who is a football fan, said it is loosely based on Newport County. "The lovely thing about writing for radio is that you have no constraints.
