Cyndi Bishop

Thank you, veterans!

In today's episode of 'Cyndi has no clue how medications actually affect her' (S12E5)

I had a nice day except I got listless and fatigued in the middle of the afternoon. Right about an hour after taking my (usually dinner time) meds with lunch. And I've been wondering why I keep getting listless and fatigued too early in the evening... 🤦‍♀️

I cannot recommend this book enough, especially for those who have never been taught about varying atonement theory and have only been taught penal substitutionary atonement as if it's fact and gospel - the way I was.

I'm for it.

Happy Halloween!

Mr. Rogers during his last broadcast:

"I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are."

Respect to those who got here first.

I'm at the Florence Festival of Books in beautiful Florence, Oregon today. Come down if you have a chance!

I woke up three or four hours before my alarm. Never did manage to fall back asleep.

Today is going to be fun 😵‍💫

Yeah I could go for a nice coma right about now

The reason you don’t see any time travelers around is because they’re all in 1997 eating kudos bars and drinking sobe and listening to Natalie Imbruglia

I don't know what my profile pic has to do with dreams, but k

The man in my profile pic? The one I'm holding closely? The one I'm gazing lovingly into his eyes? The one who is (in fact) two and a half years older than myself?

I don't have a son.

Have a nice life.

My dreams are always strange; I just am more likely to notice the ones that make me laugh upon waking.

At this point, I cannot recall specifics, but there was definitely a moment involving a lightning bolt zapping someone followed by a laugh track.

It can’t be true if we hide it from you.

Last night's dream can best be described as ancient Greek gods set as a Disney tween sitcom.

You can’t hurt me, you’re not a beloved children’s movie from

Hey seasonal depression you can relax, we got this covered this year

Peter Pan: think happy thoughts!

Me: oh okay

Peter: couldn't be easier!

Me: right

Peter: just like any happy thought

Me:...

Peter: ...

Me: I'll just Uber

'Christian music' because their songs didn't specifically include the name Jesus. I had people claiming it was sinful and wrong to enjoy their music for that reason! (And 'sinful' meant 'you're going to hell,' so obviously we couldn't have that!) It's sad to me to see this mentality persevere. (2/2)

This mentality of 'any music with lyrics that aren't 100% blatantly religious is inherently EVIL and DEMONIC' vibes with that history. I actually remember debating with others whether obviously religious bands like Lifehouse and P.O.D. could really count as (1/2)

I grew up highly conservative in a completely terror-based belief system (everything revolved around the threat of hell constantly hanging over my head, 'god' was an uncaring and unfeeling entity of judgement just waiting for me to screw up so he could condemn me). (See comments.)

I'll go first: mine is definitely fantasy, especially if there's magic and dragons.

What's your favorite genre to read?

Well, today was a pure ball of Sparkling Chaos™️

Shame and humiliation are part of the 'broken' toolbox, as well. Same question applies.

I woke up at almost 2am. Never managed to fall back asleep. Fun times...

Broken people think the best way to influence the behaviors of others is through intimidation, fear, controlling behaviors, and pain. How much have we projected that tendency onto our understanding of God and our interpretation of the Bible?
