Weird blend of reverence & irreverence, but still trying to live an undivided life, even if it means I'm stretched wide in the process.
Into Jesus, justice, prayer, & laughter.

If we are created good and beautiful as living icons of God before sin ever sickened our hungry hearts, then at a minimum, Lord, let that be the order in which I recognize each face I see, too.
It honestly isn’t fair that I can’t just take all my ear innards out, soak them in a warm vinegar, Dawn, and water solution, scrub them with baking soda on a toothbrush, rinse them off, and then put them back in place again.

My therapist’s therapist is named Skip, and I don’t like that at all. That is a sitcom name. I’m supposed to tell my trauma to someone who goes to Skip for support? C’mon.

You know what makes me angry? I’ll tell you:
When you login to your insurance webpage & try to find a new provider & it asks you to select which insurance plan you have. EXCUSE ME? I just made an account where I had to give you my member ID & now you’re pretending not to know my plan type?

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me in this. I did it!
Two friends and I memorized Psalm 19. We had lunch to recite it to each other and celebrate yesterday!
I’m shocked to say it was easier than I expected, despite my lil brain lesion, and I love that those words are within me now.

If someone was going to memorize one full chapter of Scripture, what chapter would you recommend?
The hope for it being general spiritual formation, friendship with God, non-anxious presence, grounding truth to preach/repeat/pray over one’s self, etc.

I need a tutorial on how to keep a chair in your room without it always being covered in clothes. This is a deep mystery that I’m surprised the science community hasn’t spent more time investigating.

Just ran into my therapist while walking down the street. Bless her. Running into a client on Father’s Day has got to be the stuff of a therapist’s nightmares.

I want to grow up to be one of the little old ladies out there protesting.
Give me an oxygen tank, a cane, a heart for justice, and a hope and imagination for a better tomorrow.

Two years ago I was housesitting for my pastor and his fam and I hid 100 tiny pictures of myself in common areas of their house. Now I still continue to get random texts like this. Highly recommend.

I know it is grainy, but I just passed these two owls while I was on a walk 🥹 followed them from tree to tree for maybe thirty minutes. So incredible. Great horned owls, I think? I forced every passerby to look at them, too.

THIS is the ideal style for earbuds, but it is nearly impossible to find high quality ones in this format.
I don’t want $200 earbuds that I’ll lose in my pocket in ten minutes. I want to be able to lay them around my neck and take them on and off quickly for conversations w/out fear.

My mother’s parents and father’s parents had all passed before my 14th birthday, so now as an adult 20+ years later, I’m absolutely shocked every time my friends lose their grandparents. How the heck do you still have those?? I thought those were a special childhood treat!

Some days I feel poor but then I remember how my depression era grandma always bought us the Thick Nalley’s chili so she could water it down and make it last longer And she absolutely reveled in treating herself by going out to eat once a month. …to Burger King. For a single Whopper Jr, with water.

Can we all agree together that absolutely nobody wants to guess our age? Please stop asking people to guess your age.
I also don’t want to guess how much you spent snagging that amazing thrift find.
Pls stop making me guess things. It makes us both feel awful.

Had one of the worst hospital experiences of my life this week. And I’ve had a lot of hospital experiences. I’ve made every effort to protect myself from this treatment, but it wasn’t enough. My condition is documented in my med charts, explained in my wallet…
