@racheljwelcher What kind of perks should one look for? My husband and I are looking into getting one. I was raised in an anti-credit card household, and I know little to nothing about them.
@fairlyspiritual I teach in a small Christian private school, and while we deal with a lot more than people think we do, I can’t imagine the sacrifices that teachers in public schools make. I have so much respect and appreciation for all my public school teacher friends!
@TheSwedishIvy Growing up, I remember feeling so sad for the elderly church members who were unable to come to church because they were too sick or their bodies were too feeble. What they would have given to even had the ability to watch a livestream much less actually be present in church.
Wow… this obituary. (In yesterdays NYT. Yes I read the tiny obituaries. That means I get to see amazing stories like this. It’s like micro-nonfiction.)
Steven Moffat was asked “how do you sleep at night knowing that because of you so many children couldn’t sleep at night” and I’m a bit obsessed with this bit of his answer
it’s a rhetorical device, y’all. it’s meant to emphasize what Christ came in the world to do, not meant to be taken seriously. of course she knew the magnitude of carrying the Messiah.
i realize the tweet is a joke, but I get so tired of people hating on this song lol.
It is impossible to be anywhere other than where you are right now. The only way to get anywhere else is to know, as fully as you can, where you are. Listen to life. Tell yourself the truth. Radically accept the jagged edges of your life. Be merciful. Hope and do not condemn.
“The slowest readers are often the best readers, the ones who get the most meaning out of a work and are affected most deeply by literature. Seventeenth-century Puritan divine Richard Baxter writes,
“Give us this day our daily bread…”
In other words, “Lord, sustain me today.” And if I’m blessed to see tomorrow, I will pray the same thing. Lord, you are my portion, and I shall not want.
