i repent, i repent of my pursuit of america’s dream
i repent, i repent of living like i deserve anything
of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife
in our suburb where we’re safe and white
i am wrong and of these things i repent

mmhmmm. which is not to imply that all suburbians are in sin, of course. just that this is where we need to be - and that no matter where you live, the American Dream and the Christian life are not the same thing.

Grand Ave, just off Culver, right across from Chris (the elder from Grace that you met when you came with Joel).

Sweet! Now it’ll be easy to grab a beer every once in a while.

I guess one should repent of America because it is a form of religion.
