I don’t know why the “keep the kids quiet” are also the “no snacking” parents. Like…there’s only so much I can do to keep things at a dull roar, ya know? 😂🤪

What’s it called when you devote your evening to a project you didn’t even know existed a few hours ago because you just *like* it? My kids’ school PTA caught me at just the right creative moment. LOL. Clarence the Carnival Pony, here to sell you tickets to our PTA fundraiser.

I’ve been doing this work for nearly 11 years and today was the first time I cried because I can feel a shift in the zeitgeist in America against gun extremism. It’s happening.…

Washing feet requires humility.

But oddly, so does allowing your feet to be washed.

For many of us, the latter is the hardest. We would not “lower” ourselves so much as to allow others to serve and help us.

Including God.

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor

‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

Hey @mercari_app and @Poshmarkapp - long time online seller here. Appreciate selling on your apps, but honestly the 3 day waiting period for funds to be released to sellers after items are delivered (unless a buyer rates 1st) is too long in this economy. @eBay has you beat there.

God is not silent about racism. God is not silent about sexism. God is not silent about any of the myriad ways humanity has made categories of ourselves in order to “other” each other. God is loud about every person we ever come across being made in His image. We should tremble.

In this way, the Bible liberates us to let curiosity awaken within. It invites us to allow our theological imaginations to soar without fear or shame.

[Kat Armas @kat_armas]

Not only is this a precious gift—to be given the freedom to dream and to wonder about God.

But it’s wildly subversive against a culture of absolutes that tells us exactly what God is and isn’t.

[Kat Armas @kat_armas]

“I heard you in the garden,” Adam told God after he ate the fruit and then tried to hide.

What did he hear? Was it a voice? Or leaves quivering on trees? The earth crunching below soles of feet?

In the Bible, so much about the divine is left to our imagination.

I’ve been briefed on the shooting at Michigan State University. The Michigan State Police along with @msupolice, local law enforcement and first responders are on the ground. Let’s wrap our arms around the Spartan community tonight. We will keep everyone updated as we learn more.

@Apple I get that the fact that I went from an iPhone 8+ (which lasted me 3 years) to an iPhone 14 means I skipped a few generations…but I’d argue that my choice, also, was a choice made with carbon neutrality in mind. Why am I being punished? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Cat Gordon @catharticblend]

Hey @Apple - I’ve been a loyal iPhone user since I got my first 📱. I got a brand new iPhone 14 the other day, and the only cord I got was this. No wall plug in? This phone is unusable to me without a device to connect to power. #DumbDesign

[Cat Gordon @catharticblend]

@Apple My (Pixel 3 using) husband tells me this is all part of your efforts toward carbon neutrality. Awesome - I completely support going green. But how green is it when I now have to order a separately packaged and shipped device in order to use my phone? #NotSoGenius

@HollyStallcup A few years ago I thought the Cocoa Truffles were only a Christmas thing because they come in a red box and just feel fancy. And then one June day, there they were, smack dab in the middle of summer. It’s been a dangerous bit of knowledge ever since.
