I heard once that "All words are made up words" and that has been one of the most liberating moments of my life.

@AmandaHeldOpelt I tread lightly here, but I think some of these responses dismiss those who have experienced hopelessness and know the danger there.

Lament without hope is simply despair. I’ve been there. I don’t want to go back.

@ECrealitymom @natgrace79 From what I understand the surrogacy process is not the surgogate mother’s biological child. She is impregnated through IVF and bares a child for the intended parents. She is merely the vessel. She is the birth “mother” but not the biological mother.

@tracesoffaith I don’t think I’ve ever read Job and considered the blessings. The book is incredibly long and it focuses on his grief and pain crying out to God. I’ve found comfort in the book because I saw my own grief process reflected in Job’s life. It gave me courage to face that pain.

Drove behind a particularly slow car while trying to get onto the interstate today, and I’m so tired all I could say was:
“Homeboy, I need you to go faster or we’re both gonna die.”

@jacobbrenton I don’t think mine is evangelical but on the smaller end of mega church. I am more progressive though than I was in college.

Whenever I get worried I can’t make a good films because I’m bad at drawing storyboards, I remember this is what the storyboards for Knives Out looked like

@jjmann17 Other pastors may have good theology which is useful, but I’m bound together with my community which includes my pastors. Their shepherding is a special sweetness that I’ve learned to appreciate even if I am challenged by the contents. They aren’t celebrities to me. I know them.

[Naomi Flores @nr_flo]

@jjmann17 I think a sermon (a good one) always must be understood in the context of the church it’s addressed and the time in which it is addressed. I enjoy sermons from other churches, but the ones that mean the most to me have always been the ones that come from my local pastors.

@edgykristina Similar reactions when you say you’re a feminist. It isn’t a dirty word, and has just as many iterations as there are people.

My wife just said "if you hate everyone, you should eat something, and if you think everyone hates you, you should go to sleep" and I don't think I've heard a better life hack

[Chris Davis @RevChrisDavis]

I have been pro-life my whole life

It drove our decision to adopt 3 children

We have donated to Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Until recently it has driven our voting

Yet I have not been able to celebrate
#RoeVsWadeOverturned—a former dream—like I thought I would.

Why?

We really need to stop the idea that we have to be in crisis to go to therapy

My director today told me to “drink water and mind my business”, and I just feel so seen and loved.
Get people in your life who supports your goals.

@GingerSnapKid I usually will see my MDs, but I’ve never had a bad experience with NPs. I’ve been fortunate to have good MDs, but not gonna lie the best doctor I’ve ever had was a DO. In my experience DOs share more of the caring and whole picture mentality of the NPs I’ve seen.

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

Today, I think about what one of my Taiwanese international graduate students once shared with me. She said in a class, the professor asked what Christian freedom meant to them.

She always saw Christian freedom as living in radical self-sacrificing obedience to Jesus.

However…
