From Sunday’s Prayer’s of the People:
Holy God, Creator of sparrows, Engineer of their flight, Tradesman of each delicate feather… You are the Sculptor of lilies, Painter of the color orange, and Science-Dreamer of raindrops and thunder.

So, so, so, so grateful I’ve had the privilege of being in therapy for so many years, specifically because it is what gave me the emotional fortitude necessary to be able to sit through the beautiful, terrible discomfort of “You Can See Everything.”

In regards to the Bend shooting… can we refer to the man who killed the shooter in terms of being brave, and in terms of our gratitude, without using the language of “a Good Samaritan?” It’s a weird way to use that term.

My therapist: Honestly I’m surprised more people aren’t sad. They should be.
Me: Okay, but super weird thing for a therapist to say.
Her: I’m a social worker 🫤

Hot take: when Jesus said to pray to the Creator as “father” it was actually just an ancient form of God saying “I’m not like a regular god, I’m a cool god.” It was actually foreshadowing for Mean Girls.

Big Garbage is getting away with treason. These are unacceptable prices for garbage cans. I can only assume some sort of wildly illegal price gauging is happening here. Someone add this to a ballot. I want to vote about it.

The invention of Nerds Gummy Clusters reminds me that good things are still happening in this treacherous world, and we don’t yet know all the beautiful things that are still to come.

Moving on Sunday to an itty bitty micro-studio that I’ve spent years praying for.
Going to get up early Sun morn with a water pot, a mug, & tea, pick up my key, & sit on the floor in the silent emptiness and talk with God about all my gratitude, and all we’ll do together there.

The world is a terrible place, with new horrors revealed daily.
But even so, after living with housing insecurity since I was 17, I finally just got approved for an itty bitty studio apartment. Moving in two weeks. It will be stable and safe and I’ll be able to afford to live 😭

Absolutely *convinced* that the plan is to pump up fear, violence, and civil unrest in such an extreme way that when the next election is supposed to occur, we’ll be told it is too unsafe. Told that a fair election can’t take place, and so Trump will have to stay in office.
