There are so many pictures of my mom to choose from - her glory days of equestrian show jumping in Britain or her journey in America with my sister and I. This is my mom circa 1964, when she was just 10 years old, living in a spirit of wanderlust by exploring the coast of Spain with my grandfather. I couldn’t be more thankful for an adventure like her and for developing the same likeness, joy, and restless pursuit to travel and see the beauty of the world.
Thanks for loving me so well, mom, and for being a beautiful example of Love Himself in my life.

I made a series of Calming Bunnies (based off of the Calming Manatee meme) for my friend Gab, who isn’t a huge fan of manatees!

We can always use more bunnies, I think.

This is the best.

I am in love with this :)

Wow this helped.

I never thought anything would be better than calming manatee..and this absolutely melted my heart. I can’t stop giggling! EEEEEEEEP!

Gospel of the Kingdom: Christians: Stop Using Tragedies as an Appeal to Days That Never Were:

A friend of mine showed me a Facebook group titled “Jesus, Please Save America” which is where I found this photo. After my initial shock, I then moved to a state of sorrow about how wide spread this belief is. I first want to address the caption and then the comments.

So I'm sitting at Starbucks completing homework and the guy next to me sneezes.

Me: "God bless you."
Guy: .....

Twenty minutes later, he sneezes twice...

Me: (a little loud, giving him the benefit of the doubt) "GOD BLESS YOU."
Guy: .......

What the heck...I KNOW HE CAN HEAR ME.

Is your love really Love?
Is my love really Love?
I think our love isn’t Love,
Unless it’s Love to the end.

Is your god really God?
Is my god really God?
I think our god isn’t God,
If he fits inside our heads.

Martin Luther King Jr. reflected in a sermon, “Every now and then I think about my own death, and I think about my own funeral. Every now and then I ask myself, ‘What is it that I want said?’ I’d like somebody to mention that day, that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to give his life serving others. I’d like for somebody to say that day, that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to love somebody. I want you to say that day, that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try to feed the hungry. And I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try, in my life, to clothe those who were naked. I want you to say, on that day, that I did try, in my life, to visit those who were in prison. I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity.”

Give us grace to love You among the least.

“I believe we have seriously misread the relevant passages in the New Testament, no doubt not least through a long process of assumption, tradition, and all kinds of post-biblical and sub-biblical attitudes that have crept in to Christianity. Just as I think we need radically to change our traditional pictures of the afterlife, away from the mediaeval models and back to the biblical ones, so we need radically to change our traditional pictures both of what men and women are and how they relate to one another within the church and indeed of what the Bible says on this subject. I do wonder, sometimes, if those who present radical challenges to Christianity have been all the more eager to make out that the Bible says certain things about women, as an excuse for claiming that Christianity in general is a wicked thing and we ought to abandon it. Of course, there have been plenty of Christians who have given outsiders plenty of chances to make that sort of comment. But perhaps in our generation we have an opportunity to take a large step back in the right direction.”
