All of us have weirdness locked inside that we only let out occasionally. We save it for family, best friends, and spouses. The rest of the time, it is under lock and key. However, at times, it pokes out a hand or foot before we shove it back inside while apologizing to those who witnessed it.

Then, there comes this moment of breakthrough. You start talking to someone, and you realize they see things the same way, think similar thoughts, and act in equally strange ways. Suddenly, you realize they are weird … like me.

I am convinced that one of the most significant steps forward a person can take for their mental and spiritual health is finding another person with whom they identify. Each of us needs someone who sees us, understands us, and accepts us with all our quirkiness.

Listen, we all have our closet craziness – even Christians. The healthiest thing you can do is find someone to share it with. You will both be better for it.

Relationships in the Church are not optional. The goal is to find “your” people and spend a lifetime together.
