“I was 100% Democrat until my dorm building told me I had to share my place with a man because he identifies as a woman.

That’s when I started researching these so called ‘discrimination laws’ and I fell down the rabbit hole.”

I hope we are not stupid enough to allow progressives in media and government to select the #Republican presidential nominee. Please, folks! Don’t allow yourself to be so easily manipulated. You should run from any #Republican candidate the mainstream media promotes, especially when there is no track record.

Man this is a downpour! Rainfall rates are nearing 0.75” per hour. #arwx

Neighbor: “I don’t like the term disabled. I prefer differently abled.”

Nondisabled people should not tell disabled people how to identify ourselves.

Apparently I'm THAT person who hates paying $9 in flat-rate shipping for a $5 item so I add 1 thing to my cart then two more items to get the bundle discount w/the first extraneous item. So spending $40 extra to not spend more in shipping than the item being shipped. #jamielogic

I will never forget the time I tried to explain chronic illness to a friend by asking her "ok so where are you in pain right now?" Because she looked at me, so confused and said "what do you mean...nowhere" And it hit me that I'd forgotten you're not supposed to feel pain at all.

Writing is the art of putting into words what people know, but can’t articulate.

[Proverbs 31 @Proverbs31org]

For the girl who feels anxious for answers, annoyed at the wait, or just plain angry at the outcome… the Lord will get you through this.

4 aircraft have been shot down by the U.S. in the last 8 days. We only know what one of them was, the Chinese balloon. Might be time for the President to give Americans some answers.

Checking twitter while listening to a Calm app sleep meditation. I may not be doing this right.

Set up some biometric security measures for a couple things at our house this weekend. Childish glee at "giving them the finger."

I haven’t left “the ministry”, I’ve resigned from vocational pastoring.

The two are not the same.

The movement from the former to the latter isn’t a demotion.

It has been eye opening to see what so many, pastors and parishioners alike, think “the ministry” really is.

God. With. Us.

Not, God with those who agree with me.
Not, God with my political party.
Not, God with just my denomination.
Not, God with those who I like.

God
With
Us
