Best advice I received:

If you overthink, Write.

If you underthink, Read.

and that is all.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

My father always told me:

"If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company.

Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves."

And only recently have I realised that this principle works everywhere.

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.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

When Knowing His Name Is Enough

We spend years chasing the hand of God—petitioning for provision, calling for clarity, yearning for the next breakthrough. But something shifts when we stop asking what He can do, and start desiring who He truly is.

The soul, weary of striving, begins to awaken when it whispers His name—not as a formula, but…

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I was one of those children who loved to listen to family stories. My granddaddy, William F. Fain, often told me about my great-grandfather, Iota Oscar Fain, his parents, and siblings who farmed in north-eastern Georgia and ran a general store in the 1860s. My great-great-grandfather, William Hollen Fain was a southerner, yet was vehemently anti-slavery, as were many in that region. When Sherman came through, he sent out teams of soldiers, one of which raided the Fain family's farm. The soldie…

I never met my great-great grandfather George (Doc) Robertson who was a sawbones in the Confederate Army in Mississippi, but my grandmother told me stories about him. A die-hard rebel, in the early 20th Cent. he would hit ppl with his cane if they didn't stand when "Dixie" played. I am so glad that I was raised in St. Louis & only visited the South each summer. I later saw the personal racism of my family there. Had an uncle in the KKK who was also deacon of his Southern Baptist church. I a…

Deacon of church, member of KKK. Hmmmmm, what would Jesus do?

A question we can ask many Christians today.

Romeo's avatar

Jesus weeps.I call those Ppl “Convenient Christians “. Only when it suits them. I know because I’m surrounded by them. There are some who walk the talk. But very few in my neck of the woods. Christopher Reeves aka as Superman was interviewed by Barbara Walters I is close to final days. She asked him about his Faith. “ I have a sign hanging in my office he said. When I do bad I feel bad . When I do good I feel good. And that is My Religion.” Mine also.

As Gary said, when a person who is not subscribed to LFAA 'likes' a post, their name shows up as 'Someone'. If you have five "Someone's" liking your post, they are five different people who have not subscribed yet.

This is a Substack thing, not unique to LFAA.

Rats. I had hoped it was Dr. R in disguise, liking my comment.
