Being a 48yo woman is fun because you could walk into the emergency room with your arm completely severed and the doctor will look at the bloody stump and tell you it’s probably perimenopause.
Live a life that is so rooted in love that no matter how much power someone has, they are still incapable of convincing you to hate other human beings.
A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."
Christianity is meant to look like Jesus.
That was the original definition for the term.
It doesn't look like power, it doesn't look like wealth, it doesn't look like hate, it doesn't look like violence, and it often doesn't look like victory.
But it does look like Jesus.
For Christians, it’s important to look at the story of Zacchaeus and be sure we never, ever interfere in someone’s process of conversion.
Let people be with Jesus.

I didn't realize how bad the vibes were with Kasas State football. That's the most soulless team we've played in a long time, besides ourselves of course.
God made your personality as a means to reveal a part of Himself to the world.
You are an intentional creation of God, made as an answer to the prayers of many.
Focus on being grateful for who God made you to be and letting Him refine and purify you to shine brighter.
