@_kysthelimit_ Depends. If it’s the writing, two chapters or less. If it’s the plot, roughly 75-100 pages.

Psalm 31 woman needs a hug and a nap.

This Matthew Perry/Keanu Reeves situation should serve as a reminder to all of us that written sarcasm rarely translates well.

@memason123 I have stress dreams related to work now. I think I’d rather have nightmares.

Hard to imagine a worse fate than being on this plane

iOS 16 is single handedly going to save my youth ministry summers by letting me mark texts as unread.

Chris Pine did not furiously ride a giant bicycle to halt a wedding and his evil uncle's plan for him to rise to power and declare his love for Amelia Mignonette Thermopalis Renaldi just to be referred to as the guy from Star Trek.

chris pine is lucky he’s hot because that filmography is held together by star trek and imagination

Being a barista was the hardest job I've ever had. Waking at 3am, multitasking on my feet for 6-8 hours, coming home sticky and sweaty. That's not even mentioning the customers.

Almost all of my coworkers were working to put themselves through college. "Lazy" does not apply.

As a wheelchair user, I occasionally find myself going downhill at a speed that can be difficult to control. That’s why, this Disability Pride Month, I’m partnering with the United States of America

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

Like surely there are long term ramifications of that

This much larger thread is important but this specific part is validating why it’s 50/50 whether I’ll cry or scream when asked to make basic decisions following retreats or camp weeks. I. Just. Don’t. Know.

The human brain doesn't have limitless decision making capacity - it has a bandwidth which when exhausted, someone struggles to think even the most basic thoughts. It's why you'll get shouted at for asking "where can I find the spoon". That "I don't know" is honest.

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

I want someone to study my brain to learn how a perfectly normal person can lose all vocabulary, auditory processing, decision making, and other basic functions of humanity every August and slowly gain it back over the course of the year.

ironic that the two o’s in cooperate insisted on having their own separate sounds

@EmilyBeeRey The closed fists really complete the look. 😂

Today I was trying to reassure my intern about something but it came out, “No good; all worries”

And that is an accurate description of what it’s like to be a Youth Minister during the month of May.

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

@EmilyBeeRey That’s the spirit!

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

The forehead kiss, the paw wave, the whispered, “good boy.” This is about to be the most spoiled pup in the country😂

What do you get for the Coach who has it all??????

A HANDSOME, 15/10 PUPPY 🐶x🐐

My high schoolers already think I’m ancient. This did not help.

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

That last line.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

To give you a hint of how sappy I am, I cried taking these pictures today of Beloved, my tiny 16-vine vineyard. The wonder of bud break on hacked branches that couldn’t look any deader is arresting. Early Spring is a zealous young prophet who can’t keep the resurrection a secret.

[Ashley Stirman @AshleyStirman]

It’s time for the annual observance of the most poorly-aged post of all time:
