Same. 👊🏽

Oh, no!!! Heal quickly!

I'm sorry. I hope you feel better!

That was one of the hardest parts of reconstructing a malconstructed faith... The realization that the people I most respected had lied to me, to themselves, and to God. Their houses had been built on sand, and they still haven't figured it out.

1/2) Heads-up, America. Remember that God told Esther what would happen if she chose to remain silent: "relief and deliverance for the Jews [in this case, the vulnerable] will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish." These abandoned poor are not without an advocate.

Yesterday, after consuming a deluge of information about USAID funding cuts, I was troubled, and I wanted to go to sleep to something peaceful, so I decided to read a Psalm. I said, "Alexa, pick a number between 1 and 150." She picked 14. Here's one of its verses:

Yes! They would definitely ridicule him.

And I know I'm screaming into the ether, but "WHERE IS THE CHURCH?" This is the boiling frog analogy we were warned about. My goodness.

CNN and FOX were side by side on the tv screens at the gym, and I gotta say, FOX is some seriously mean-spirited shizz. The visual contrast was jarring.

Very pretty 😍

No matter how radically un-Christian-like the idea may seem when it's first introduced, just give it a minute, they'll come around.

It's true, your writing is critically important, but you're also a really good writer. Your writing style flows, and the reader doesn't need to double-back to make sense of it. I really appreciate that about your writing, and since nobody has commented on this post yet, I thought I'd let you know:)

The little feet taps 🥰

But your words will live on.
Happy birthday 🎂

40-day Target boycott starts tomorrow. (Honestly, based on the eagerness with which they cut back minority hiring goals, I have no intention of going back. Ever.)

If nobody "likes" this post, don't take it personally.

No.

The blue pitcher (next to the tree pitcher-- which I would have selected, had it been done with a matte finish).
We're gonna see those elves on February 15. They'll be there.

I'll bet he's super-holy. Like, it probably pains him to even think about sin.

Guys, it's 2024. Why are we still shaking hands? Why not knuckle bumps? We had a way out, a pandemic, remember? Wasted opportunity.
