[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

How midwesterners decline an invite

“We might be there” - not coming

“I’ll let you know” - not coming

“Hmm not sure yet” - very sure about not coming

“I’ll see if we can make it work” - it will not and not coming

“I’ll think about it” - nothing to think about and not coming

Speak Midwesterner 101:

“The other day” = could mean yesterday or 2003

“Just up the road” = a mile or 4 hours north

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unpleasant love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” -Jamie Anderson

[Mason Mennenga @masonmennenga]

a lot of christians think the bible is clear on gay marriage and abortion when it’s actually clear on caring for immigrants and forgiving debts

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Jesus didn’t say:

Convert your neighbor
Police your neighbor
Take a tithe from your neighbor
Correct your neighbor’s behavior
Shame your neighbor into church
Force your neighbor into prayer
Serve your neighbor only as a way to evangelize them.

Jesus said, love your neighbor.

“And life will ask a lot of you, but it is worth it to go awake. Do not travel asleep. You will miss so many things. Keep your eyes open. Keep your heart open too. There are so many things the journey will reveal to you.”

[Halle Berry @halleberry]

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

I was listening to a podcast today and they said, “Busyness is the smoking of our generation” and I can’t stop thinking about how true that sounds.

that awkward moment when you don’t realize a crew member is completely insane until you’re already trapped out on a layover with them

Today’s Mantra:

Thank you Mother Earth,
I love you.

Never beg anyone to stay in your life. If they want to walk, make sure you let them leave.
