Remind me to tell you of my friend Evan the poet

Is the Rocky Horror Picture Show just a commentary on hedonism

It’s not as though some live with the passions and the rest without them; the variables at play far outnumber these two.

It’s that each individual lives differently with unique combinations of the various passions; susceptibility to them is not binary, but rather a spectrum of spectra of equations.

Seems like the former U.S. of A. could really use your ol’ guitar there, Woody.

Another vocation pushed out of reach, another uniform hung in the back of the closet.

Everything is just collecting dust now,
from my faith to my friendships to my finances.

The local center of fellowship, friend and family bonds, memories, connections, beauty, and hospitality:
Gone.

A whole new life’s purpose, after being derailed from my own soul’s vocation:
Up in flames.

Farewell, ol’ beauty. You sailed us through too many tempests and so many doldrums. 🖤

That’s curtains forever, folks. 💔

Human beings are an exceedingly judgmental species. . . 👀

The judgment is *incessant.*

It’s gotta stop.

Ah! See, the whole murder thing is really spinning around in that ‘old electric mixing bowl’ I call my “brain” as well… 🤔
Fascinating

Thoughts?

(Does it matter?)

🧠💭 I really like wearing green… 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Pursue Peace with Everyone […]

See to it […] that no root of Bitterness springs up and causes trouble ...”

‭‭ — Hebrews 12

Why do YOU think God favored Abel’s animal sacrifice over Cain’s fruit/grain sacrifice?

What makes one better than the other to the Creator of Everything, whom we call “Love” & “Father”?

To my undergrad OT prof, I believe the answer was simply

…Divine Election. 🤷🏼‍♂️

So… “It is what it is,” I guess?

Hmm… 🤔 [good thoughts brewing; head nodding slowly]

You’re a good one—I like you.

[thoughts still percolating…]

‭‭ — A Reading from the

[…one curiously enigmatic, anonymous, challenging, fascinating, rhetorically-talented early Christian’s…]

Letter to the
Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭(NRSV)

“Pursue Peace with Everyone,

and the Holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

See to it that no one fails to obtain the Grace of God;

that no root of Bitterness springs up
and causes trouble and through it many become defiled.”

That’s curtains for tonight, folks. 🎭✨

All re-set for tomorrow’s show.

My grandma just dropped by and surprised me with a box of produce from her church’s food pantry and I could *weep* 😭💞

I was just thinking, “Okay! I’ve got rice! And… one onion left. 😞 And $10.24 in my bank account—“

It’s so hard out here, folks. 🩵

And yes, I still have *that* account… much to my chagrin.

Don’t judge me. I know you still use Amazon.

Contribution to Evil is inevitable in Satan’s own country. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Bio says it all ✌️

No clue why I randomly got back on these accounts… Don’t count on me being around a lot 🤷

Aww, I love the sentiment! 🤣💋 That’s very sweet. Haha
I wouldn’t want that though—they’re not in the wrong, tbf.

It’s actually the one icon that watches over my bedroom. 😇🙏

(All the others are spread everywhere throughout the house.)
