Also apparently I haven't been on this app in a while. A very belated "you're welcome" to you! 😆

That's my secret alternate mission with The Pilgrimage.

JennX @jenniferaglayte.substack.com · 17d

YAY!

Absolutely NOT.

JennX @jenniferaglayte.substack.com · 27d

My whole life since stepping down from the church... 😣

When you never asked for patience but God apparently thought you needed it anyway... 🫠

Accurate.

Thanks. It's not. I have developed a pair of "things to do" if I lie in bed awake for more than an hour, though:

Can't fall asleep: read stuff for my DMin
Can't stay asleep: work on my sci-fi novel

The sci-fi novel in particular should be *really* interesting (or boring) at this rate.

Which is your preferred insomnia?
a. Can't fall asleep
b. Can't stay asleep

I'm becoming pretty adept at both and I'm still deciding.

Since stepping down from the pastorate, Monday has become Admin Day. I was on a roll this morning, and then lunch happened, and now all I can seem to do is scroll...

I LOVE making people's day! Thank you!

I've taught live cohorts online for 10 years. But now I'm in this DMin cohort and we don't even have asynchronous posting assignments. So I started an email thread & intro'd myself. Only one person has followed suit.

I'm an introvert, but my Enneagram 2 is taking this personally.

I hope that means Friday will be so much better.
