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.

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.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Prime Minister Kishida gave a magnificent speech. What a statesman!
When one considers that some of his forebears died at the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, for the Prime Minister to show affection for America and for him to ask that we remain the America he, in part, grew up in makes his oratory some of the most riveting I have heard -- a breath of fresh air amidst the miasma of M.A.G.A.'s bool-sheet.
This is a closely guarded secret so please don’t tell anyone, but every election cycle I trot out my 200 dead ancestors and bus them to the polls to vote 100% blue. Later that evening, we return to the graveyard where we party all night long. That’s the secret to stealing elections. I wouldn’t lie.
Shhhh! MAGA might try that!
They already are... they're mostly brain dead.
I try to remember that they are fairly normal people who really are doing their best, just like me, my family and friends. But the things they say and do! And the harm is not just to themselves, it's on all of us. What happened to sanity and our shared reality? Fox, Rush and their like is a big part of it...and good old fashioned gullibility I guess.
We are a highly addicted society. We buy and buy into all kinds of distractions. In the meantime, our country is systematically being stolen from us.
Thanks to donald trump though for waking millions of us up. It is up to us woke folks. Needless to say, woke is both a good and necessary thing. Let's make woke a movement. I think our survival depends on it. Woke is not weak. I think it takes great courage to be woke.
