When my needs go unmet,
I’m reminded: God didn’t design a person, place, or title to fulfill me.
He designed my soul to need Jesus.
So if you’re discouraged today by unmet needs,
Maybe you’re not being punished—maybe you’re being invited.
Invited to need the only One who never fails.
If that’s you—
You need to meet my Jesus.
Am I right?
Trump being called a chicken and knowing that will stick means today is the worst day of his life.
Right Taco?

Uncommon advice:
If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.
Pursue yourself.
Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.
Then the right path will reveal itself.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.
I've learned that you need to insert air quotes every time Bari trots out a new "whistleblower". Smith College didn't break any laws, or commit any kind of fraud. They aren't doing anything in secret that needs to be revealed. They are making efforts to correct for past injustices. They are committed to diversity, equality of opportunity, and inclusion of marginalized groups The horror!
It sounds to me like Jody Shaw has a really bad case of "white fragility". Some white people get really upset when you point out facts like: The median white household has 10X the wealth of the median black household. In other words, they get angry and defensive at learning that white privilege is a real thing.
I've had lots of DEI training. If you're open-minded, white people can learn a lot about how life is different for members of groups who have been, and still are, marginalized. I've found these courses to be enlightening. And, as a straight white male, I've never once been called an “oppressor” or been made to feel shame or guilt about who I am.
But I'm well aware that some white people, get very angry and defensive at learning the facts of systemic racism. Robin DiAngelo wrote her book for people like this. Sadly, the people who need to read it the most tend to recoil at the mere mention of the title and will never be able to approach it with an open mind. I think people like Ms. Shaw are misunderstanding what is being taught. I don't believe that what Smith college is doing is unethical or immoral in any way.
