@PiaJSigler I got my bachelors degree at 45 and am working on my masters at 55, all while working full time. I get it, so much effort to get it all done.
I came to church thinking that faith would be like an epidural.
Something that would take all my pain away.
But I found out that faith is more like a midwife.
A nurturing partner who leans into the pain with me.

@ifixhearts He wants me on a statin due to overall cholesterol and LDL being elevated. CRP and homocysteine normal. Calcium scan is scheduled this week but he wants a stress test. Insulin and A1C and C-peptide are all normal. 🤷♀️
I am at my most patriotic when I’m in a public library.
When I remember that we let people borrow books for free, have public access to the internet, and participate in extracurricular learning opportunities, it’s one of the few times I want to shout, “I love America!”
Making excuses is not repentance.
Saying you’re sorry is not repentance.
Explaining how bad you feel with tears in your eyes is not repentance.
Changing your behavior and seeking to repair what you’ve broken is repentance.
Everything else is just manipulation.
