writers, how many times have you started over on your manuscript? and how long have you been working on it?
mine is over 15yo, and I'm thinking of starting over for the 5 billionth time.
Read this abt girls who encountered the Uvalde shooter online and didn’t find his harassment noteworthy bc their experience on the internet is so saturated with abusive misogyny & then tell me I’m crazy for not allowing my kids unsupervised internet access & social media accounts
I saw this quote online:
"Worse than wolves disguised as sheep are the ones disguised as shepherds" (Karen Swallow Prior, @KSPrior).
Thanks Karen!
I hope you don't mind... it was so good I decided to make it a cartoon.
Because it's so true!
Gentleness is not usually one of the first qualities we look for in a pastor. In fact, I think gentleness is one of those Christian virtues that falls through the cracks when we’re evaluating ourselves and others.
The church is not an academic debating society, not a place where one seeks by whatever means to prove himself right and to prove the other guy wrong. It is, above all, a place where we care for one another as nursing mothers care for their babies.
Being a Christian is going to require disagreeing with mainstream cultural norms. It's best we come to terms with this. And it's healthy when we also realize we don't need to convince the people around us that we are right in order to be justified in holding to what God has said.
