Okay but if you put R.M. Renfield, Dorian Gray, and Victor Frankenstein in a room together who is winning that fight?

I am as tender towards His mercies as I am towards the tragedies of this life. The way the human mind is structured, we are inclined to place more emphasis on the bad than the good... but I would not surrender one iota of my sensitivity to His goodness even if it meant a dulling of my senses towards pain and sadness.

To those who are tender in mind, spirit or body, how does God help you?

“Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm” actually it does. It just gives us the ability to use the website without it, and we’ve all decided to use it that way and only that way because engagement algorithms suck.

Yes! But! We are so ridiculously blessed to be living in an age of staggering Christian harmony. Sure, we gotta be stern with heresy and we gotta be careful pointing fingers, but for one of the first times since there was disagreement between sects of the faith there is no killing over it. None. Catholics may sit down with Protestants, Reformed, Baptists, Orthodoxes, and even Pentacostals and everyone gets to walk away from that table. No bruises, no crusades, no bombs. I can walk into any church and learn how they worship and why. Wild.

Christians need to stop pointing figures at each other and claiming the other isn’t Christian it’s not productive in the modern secular age

It's walkable if you've got a good horse and a pack mule.

My dad in America. Normal work day.

I mean, we do also have to drive 30 minutes to expensive groceries and closest post office. 3x that for more food variety.

“America IS walkable, you’re all just lazy” my childhood home was an hour from the nearest hospital (by car)
