Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Real

We’d done it: we’d taken a mismatched, diverse group of women and cobbled together a prayer group that really worked for all of us. Now that spring was here, we were celebrating our one-year anniversary–and a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake! Everything was feeling pretty great.

But it’s when we’re in our comfort zone that we’re most likely to let our guard down. Without warning, lots of little things seemed to become big problems. With a white supremacy hate group targeting a local university, our very diversity almost became a liability. It took a vicious attack on Nony’s husband to make us see that we had to get tough–and fight back together.
