Why does it cost more to buy things that are made or grown without additional chemicals? How is all that modification cheaper than just using things in their original state?? 🤔

@DevelopingBritt Goodwill is an incredibly unethical organization. This, however, is the most blatant example I’ve seen from them. So many other organizations are working much harder to do good in our community!

[Heather Smith @needsimple]

A good reminder to donate to just about any organization in your community other than Goodwill.

The President and CEO at Goodwill defended her decision to pull paychecks from disabled workers:

"It really was not a job," she said. "We gave them through grace out of our budget to pay them so they had a paycheck to go home with."

I want to stoke the fire I’m in the middle of right now about as much as I want to amputate my toes without anesthesia. I’d much prefer to change the subject & move on & ignore the fury. I also want my family to have relief. But after intense prayer, I need to say a few things.->

@LarimerCounty what happened with property assessments this year? Mine went up significantly more than everyone around me. 🤔

If women were crucial in leading Jesus’s movement in the very beginning, why wouldn’t they be as crucial in doing so now? https://t.co/6hBYhLMjUE

My dad later today (not kidding)

"Yashar, I did not leave Iran and move to America so my son could tweet about towels. What is this nonsense? If you were my student I would give you a D minus. I don't have a son, I have a silly goose!"

[Heather Smith @needsimple]

Systematically silencing women (or any group) leads to the kind of environment where abuse can flourish. It is a manipulative misinterpretation of Scripture to believe that a woman leading is a more serious sin than a man who’s abusive. https://t.co/n4JBYS5nfP

It’s not fear that gets in the way of showing up - it’s armor. It’s the behaviors we use to self-protect. We can be afraid and brave at the same time.

Armor suffocates courage and cages our hearts. The goal is to create spaces where armor is neither necessary nor rewarded.

@JonathanMerritt As a believer, I get what he’s saying, but this is a very dangerous line of thinking. Health insurance saved my family from bankruptcy when my husband died from bacterial meningitis at 28. To make comments like this is incredibly irresponsible.

[Heather Smith @needsimple]

For all of the terrible on the internet, there is also this: the pure delight of being able to connect people who never would have otherwise.

@KJDellAntonia This is something I’m trying to get a handle on right now! Digital photos truly do snowball into something unwieldy and overwhelming.

That battle? The one for which you've run out of solutions and answers… the one that makes you weary and worried and worn out?

God's got it. Let the Lord fight for you.

Your job is to be obedient to God. God’s job is winning this battle.
