Every day my fear of being in a shooting anywhere I go is being affirmed. And you can’t say the odds are slim, because it’s already happened to me once.

When will I hear more about #guncontrol laws and more funding for school and social workers than school shootings?

Unrealistic wish for 2022: all educators stop using comic sans.

Kindergarten quote of the day:
*recess ends*
Student: okay class, time to go into the class and start drinking.
**student referring to drinking water after a warm outdoor recess**

I’ve been working as a literacy interventionist the last few months. Overheard today in kindergarten: “My aunt has a mustache.”

A good Monday already.

I just liked my own IG post because I am freaking proud of what it said and genuinely like the post . Nothing wrong with giving yourself some love sometimes. 💁🏻‍♀️

It’s Jan 1st and I just accidentally dyed my hair pink. How’s your 2021 going?

As a pastor, I want to encourage folks to avoid toxic theology today (and every day). “No matter what happens, Jesus is King” is a form of faith that invalidates the lived experiences of faithful people all over the country who have been harmed by this administration.

@NickKristof Not to mention schools, churches, restaurants, gyms and workplaces are opened here in Michigan. And people are filling the stores.

Fact Check: Vice President Pence again claimed that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to allow abortion “up to the moment of birth.”

This is not true.

Thoughts concerning Christianity and pro life: how much about preventing death is being done through simply loving people as opposed to pushing the responsibility off to the government debates on abortion 🤔

Is that a fly???

[Savanna Distefano @Vanna_Distefano]

@SarahD319 He probably planned that to distract from his responses.

[Savanna Distefano @Vanna_Distefano]

@SarahD319 I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING 😂😂😂

Anyone else find it odd that the GOP seems to be ready to vote to approve RBG’s replacement without knowing who it may be? Maybe Big Bird will be chosen, but God forbid it be a qualified person of an opposing party.

Death does not disqualify God’s glory. https://t.co/i1kCVLbeXi

Sometimes I think our churches forget that Jesus didn’t sit around and wait for people to come to Him. Instead he met people where they were — sitting with them, talking with them, dining with them, and drinking wine with them.

On my 10th day of #StayAtHome orders I washed my produce with dish soap, brushed my teeth with hand soap and dropped off my computer for water damage repair. How’s your #Quarantine going?

[Savanna Distefano @Vanna_Distefano]

On the 5th day of #Quarantine my president said to me: break out your puzzles ‘cause you have two extra weeks until your free.
