Jesus told her, “Go, close the tab you are using.” “I am using no tabs,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you are using no tabs. The fact is, you have had 56 tabs open, and the one you now have open you are not using.”

I stood outside and watched the clouds ripple and undulate like tentacles in the open expanse of the sky. Moments later, tornado warning.

Take a moment to see what's real. What's something you experience with your senses? I'm noticing that all the trees are in bloom -- pinks and whites. The birds are chirping happily. Summer is coming.

Can't critique a woman's ideas. Criticizes her appearance instead. Tale as old as time. See all the literature against allowing women to vote.

Want to know why society is as bad as it is? Because we believe we have the right to judge the inherent worth of other people. If we truly believed human beings were valuable, we would not treat each other the way that we do.

I've counseled many people who struggle with feelings of worth as they age, are no longer able to work a job, volunteer on committees, drive their car. We must stop equating personal worth with what a person can do for us or for society. People are worth it because they are.

A person doesn't have worth based on what they can produce for society. People have worth because they are people. This kind of personal worth = societal output ideology causes us to judge people as less than because they are elderly, because they are disabled, etc.

Me: A woman's worth is not based on her marital status or whether or not she has children. Response: But then what is it based on? Um...the fact that she's a human being? Created in God's image?

My beloved attic cat who would not hurt a fly decided to wake me up for the day by pouncing on my backside - claws out.

If God can speak truth through a donkey, surely God can have a word for me too through someone I disagree with.

It's much easier to blame Christian women for being single than it is to: 1) Accept that some women are called to singleness 2) Admit that there might be a scarcity of godly men for those women 3) Have a nuanced take that recognizes not every situation is the same

I received a phone call today that I'm 99% sure was using an AI generated voice. Name and information given were so vague they could apply to anyone, and the goal was for me to give them lots of money to help their desperate situation. The whole thing was so creepy.
