Boss's wife upon hearing I'm a medieval scholar: Isn't it crazy all the things medieval people thought would stop the plague?

Me: *Fighting all my devils & angels not to bring up that she drank horse antiparasitic last year.*

anyways (I say this as someone who is deeply critical of the united states government, military, unchecked capitalism, police, etc) I am SICK of people treating america as if it has no cultural value or positives so….. I love u 85 million acres (bigger than italy) of national parks. I love u harlem renaissance. I love u groundhogs day. I love u sweet tea and fried chicken and jambalaya. I love u apple cider donuts and maizes on crisp autumn days. I love u 95k miles of coastlines and new england fisherman and hand knitted sweaters. I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot. I love u foggy days in the pacific northwest and neon signs and roadside attractions. I love u baseball and 1950s diners and soft serve. I love u native american art and pop art and poptarts. I love u blue jeans and barbecues and jazz musicians

Guy in front of me has a lifted truck and a bumper sticker that reads "Lift it...fat chicks can't jump!" Predictably, driver looks like the fat Ge*man kid from Willy Wonka

everyone hears “jesus loves you!!” a lot which is very true and very good, but i feel like the actual meaning gets lost because it’s said so much. this is a reminder that:

God does not hate you

God is not indifferent toward you

God wants to have a relationship with you

God’s plan accounts for the specific and individual way that you think, feel, and act

if you are in Christ, you are a child of God, not just a Creation.

did you hear? there was another sunrise this morning. the clouds are parting to let love in. birds still live in the trees and rabbits still live in the ground and God still loves you
