Following Love, Finding Transformation
| The Rev. Philip DeVaulFollowing Love, Finding Transformation
I have been married for almost 14 years. I didn’t get married because I wanted to change. I didn’t get married because I wanted to become a different kind of person. I got married because I loved this woman named Krista and I wanted to be around her as much as possible. That, and I come from a tradition that says when you find someone you want to be around as much as possible, you probably should marry them. So I got married. It will not surprise you to hear that marriage has changed me a lot in the intervening years. It doesn’t matter that that was not my goal. My goal was to follow love. Transformation happened...
We commit to things that will transform us when we are drawn towards them despite the work involved: when we feel a sense of love and excitement. So it goes for the Church, I think. We exist for Love. It’s why we are here.
