@WifeWorst I highly recommend getting yourself a new toothbrush and something that smells amazing (even a dollar tree candle). It is wild how those little acts can be so cleansing for the soul.
A professor once reminded me that if Christianity was a tree, American Evangelicalism wouldn’t be the trunk. It would be a tiny twig growing from one of countless small branches growing from larger branches.
Christ is the trunk.
Humility is the only way forward for the church.
“We’re not going to get better by pretending things are better.
We’re going to get better by choosing to see the world as it is *and* as God dreams is could be. THAT is hope.” - @RevJacquiLewis
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
...
Then again, take and miss the shot over and over again, you might not receive so many opportunities.
...
Or you might eventually get better.

How do you describe God?
A metaphor from Madeleine L’Engle
“We are like an infant in the womb with no conception of what the mother is like - it’s just where all the sustenance comes from, the heartbeat, the breathing, everything.”
I am currently working in a high school clinic. You would think that my biggest concern would be COVID right now, and you'd be right... but there is another problem that sits in the shadow of that menace, and it's just as destructive, but no one seems to be noticing...
