At Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, Dustin Ward has found the true meaning of sanctuary. From one day last December til one day this December, a journey toward understanding the true meaning of what one church can do DUSTIN WARD | Guest Contributor dustinlward@gmail.com I have been in a full-blown identity crisis for almost a year.
And for a control freak, a Libra and an oldest child, that has been a real struggle. I can pinpoint that one day last December, in 2022, when the crisis started, and, 12 months later, I had more questions than I do answers.
Then one day this December, my crisis began to morph into understanding and then acceptance when I finally began to identify what I was experiencing for myself: Sanctuary.
Full disclosure, I am not a religious person by any means. Curse words are as beloved to me as they are to a group of sailors.
