I loved all of this, and especially the song. Thinking about all saints day tomorrow and what a perfect sentiment that is for it. Your reflections on Loretta Lynn are exactly how I think of sainthood - we are all such complicated, contradictory, imperfect people. Imagine if we could show up for each other with that kind of grace (like the mom of the store clerk), what a world we could create!

Ok, bringing this back full circle. After having this song in my head all week it ended up in my sermon (which was titled "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, But..."). Thanks for the inspiration -- and the chance to deep dive into Loretta Lynn (did you know that Chrystal Gayle was her SISTER?!?). Sermon is here if you want to see how it all came together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWU0M1oVU0

I absolutely love that understanding of sainthood.
