@jakeline_chavez Really? That’s such a relief. 😭

@STATravelCares I’ve emailed the person who handled my tickets AND the general email - both weeks ago. Today I spent 40 minutes on hold being told I was the “next person in line.” How do YOU propose one get in touch?

why am I shaking? perhaps there is a disturbance in the force, or I am afflicted with a rare disease. a further possibility: I am gradually transcending my body into an ethereal realm. much to consider. I shall drink another cup of coffee, my fourth this morning, and ponder all.

I once saw a hand dryer that advertised itself as "high-speed low-energy." I relate to that hand dryer on a profound spiritual level.

@sarahcaskey @ProfBarnhart I’m so focused on reading the subtitles (also so very one-track/NON-multitasking) that I forget to watch the movie, so that one is actually a no from me.

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

@ProfBarnhart @sarahcaskey I’m so committed to reading as opposed to any other format that I even read the transcripts my phone makes of voicemails instead of listening 😂

"If the world rejects us because of Christ and him crucified, so much the worse for the world. If the world rejects us because they think Christ is just a mascot for what we would already be supporting or doing even if Jesus were still dead, then God have mercy on us." --@drmoore

When Nathan confronted David, he didn’t say “What about Saul?” Instead we got Psalm 51.

My opinion of a book drops dramatically if it has diagrams.

We’re studying the book of Ephesians. The shield of faith is defensive while the sword of God’s word is offensive. This week I’ve been considering the practical implications of how often we switch those functions in battle.

@abigailtaylorj Nah. Only if you take the movie versions of the characters over the books. (I loved the movies, but they gave all of Ron’s good traits and lines to Hermione and left him a clown. Low key bitter.) Plus Harry and Book Ginny are👌. Now Draco with the redemption arc he deserved...

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

@kennedy_glynn How exciting. I know how much you want to find friends your age in your new town.

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

@sarahcaskey Honestly, this sounds like half my teaching life. 😂

“He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself.”

Don't surrender your souls to nationalism, pals.

If your walk with Jesus does not occasionally confuse both your liberal and conservative friends, then you're likely not following Jesus very closely.

Jesus was not wed to any one earthly political system.

His Kingdom is not of this world.

The good news is I remembered how to drive. The bad news is that I unexpectedly forgot how much American change was worth in a moment of panic. It’s all about balance, right?

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

I was chatting about European train travel with @Adinahelise as she passed a dead alligator on the side of the road. If that doesn’t get me in the spirit of home, nothing will.

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

It’s 60 degrees, and I’m wearing boots in the rain in June. I haven’t had a mosquito bite in 10 months. I’m seriously questioning my life choice to move back to LA, even temporarily. 😂

BUT I’ll be happy to to see my people no matter how hot and bitten I am.

Nights like tonight make me exclaim, “Wild nights are my glory!” And then feel immensely sorry for those unacquainted with Madeleine L'Engle.

[Kellen Constant @kellenconstant]

@joynessthebrave So many reasons! Her time quintet shaped the way I think of the world as simultaneously magical and explicable. My own Meg moments of explanations just grasped then gone lit my imagination. Later she showed me how faith informing rather than dominating a work creates resonance.
