“Jesus cooks and does the laundry. This, by far, is the most striking feature of the resurrection stories in John’s gospel. The first thing he does after he’s resurrected is to fold the laundry. And the last thing he does on earth is to cook a meal for a friends.”

— David R. Henson

ugh I love being religious in a completely different way than my parents. I love God and the Bible and going to a church that aligns with my beliefs. Maybe it's just my rule loving ocd brain that finds so much peace in it, but progressive Christianity adds so much value to my life and has healed so much of the damage done by the church I grew up in

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

my spotify does this every once in a while where it mixes up the picture and the title of a playlist on the home page and i think it’s so funny every time. and i’ve never seen it do this with anything else besides the fake "this is st. hildegard von bingen" that @and-her-saints made that i’ve been listening to to fall asleep every night for the last like 2 years lmao

“A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized that prayer was listening.”

— Soren Kierkegaard 

not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise
