An unker from church once told me that it's the older folk who keep a community stable and grounded. To prove this, he said the ancient Hebrew term for "unker" and "anchor" is the exact same word. But of course! It's simple etymology! How did I miss that? Now I repeated this to a friend and she said sure or not? I said hundred percent. And this Sunday my pastor is preaching about how Jesus is my Unker and how he can unker you. She looked at me one-kind. Like, why, not good meh?
