I write. I laugh at puns. I adore my husband + daughter. I play with my dog. Sometimes I tweet.

Christian faith would be so much healthier if we didn’t see our faith as a war to be won or people as enemies but as worlds to be explored and people to be loved.

Y’all. If you are moved by someone, by someone’s work, by their friendship, anything — TELL THEM. You don’t know how much they might need that ounce of encouragement, to feel noticed, to feel like their efforts are worthwhile.

One reason why things are a bit turned upside down is that we keep trying to save Jesus from all the sinners instead of Jesus saving the sinners in our mirrors. “I thank God that I’m not like them.”

You are a person, not a performance.

garlic is to cooking as vanilla extract is to baking in that the amount i add to my food is guided by reckless extravagance and utter disregard, verging on mild contempt, for the recipe as written

[Trillia Newbell @trillianewbell]

Wow. Thank you, Lord. And it makes me wonder, who do I make earn my favor before I help them? What a gracious and generous God.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

A lot of life is getting back up. By the grace of God, catch your breath and get back up.

I saw this on FB and it's the best food pantry donation list I've ever seen. Usually posts like this either end up shaming the donor for what they do or don't give, or shaming the receiver for what they do or don't choose to eat.

As a former pantry employee, I endorse!

studies show that scrolling tends to increase depression and anxiety, but reading a novel for even seven minutes can lower stress by two-thirds. do your frazzled nerves a favour and read a book.

There's an assumption that happy people aren't deep, that if you've really got a handle on the world you'll be knowing, tragic, cynical. But I tend to think being cynical is the path of least resistance. It's harder (and better?) to cultivate joy which sustains you and others.

Reading fiction is not a just form of entertainment. It builds empathy by exposing you to the inner life of someone else, and to experiences outside of your own. It drills into you - page by page - that other people are every bit as human as you are.

Maybe a lot of y’all have been feeling a little down like I have. These are hard days. My friend who is a therapist told me recently to practice savoring. To pause over anything lovely or fragrant or noteworthy or intriguing or mysterious -anything at all- & find some joy in it.

[Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP) @KSPrior]

I don’t know, guys. It seems so simple to me.

We must fight with all we can all that harms God’s creation: racism, sexism, abortion, human trafficking, animal cruelty, oppression, injustice, misogyny, abuse, litter.

And we must conserve all the goodness and beauty he created.
