I don't really have a photo for this post so... here's my cat. On my bookshelf. Lurv. I guess since she doesn't have beliefs (other than the importance of being pet at all times), our love will never change? As long as I keep delivering the pets, that is. I'm realizing how much the depth … Continue reading As beliefs change, so do relationships…
I get it, universe. I get it, God. I get it, life. Practicing gratitude is transformational and something I should really work on. It's also hard AF. I'm in this time of life where I feel so wounded but don't have time to heal before the next wound hits. It seems that daily, at least … Continue reading The tension is to be loved, apparently
Anyone else glad the midterm elections are behind us?! I think this, and the fact that Democrats took control of the House, are worth celebrating. Celebrating with pizza. I always celebrate with pizza. (Well, that and champagne. Duh.) Here is a pizza worthy of fall, when pumpkin, sage, and bacon are all in season. (Though … Continue reading Yummiest autumn pizza
As I mentioned earlier, last semester I started and never finished a book on biblical eschatology. It was an interesting book, and full of meaty textual analysis, but ultimately started to feel... pointless? Somewhere along the way I just stopped feeling like it was relevant beyond it being interesting. I couldn't find a reason to … Continue reading Environmental eschatology
Well shoot, I have been incredibly remiss in updating ye olde blog with our most recent podcasts. WHAT HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN DOING WITH YOUR EARBALLS. The biggest thing is that we finished our season on metaphysics. I'm not going to lie -- I'm a little relieved. That is some complicated stuff. As fun as … Continue reading And/Or/Versus podcast updates!
Well, it's not quite November yet, but I really don't get into Halloween at all, so why not jump right in to the gratitude scene a few days early. WHY NOT, I SAY. One of the hardest things about this life we've chosen (grad school... Hawai'i... obscene cost of living in an itty bitty living … Continue reading Gratitude
Lately I've been working to learn how to sit with the big sorrows of my life. Some of my sorrows are not fixable. They are permanent parts of my life (though with differing intensities), they stay with me, and in some instances even partially define my life and my sense of self. I'm not always … Continue reading Sitting with sorrows
You know how I said we had finally broken through the heat+humidity? I counted too many chickens. Dammit. Back to sweating. In my late-mid-30s, I think I'm finally gaining the confidence to disregard irrational or unwelcome judgment, sexism, and other false proclamations of my value and worth. I am beyond heartened to see and feel … Continue reading In-Between Thoughts 10.22.18
1. Last night I made homemade mayo (so easy!) and today I did 8 pullups in a row. I FEEL INVINCABLE. 2. I have been putting off getting a haircut for too many months now and my hair is officially stringy and raggedy. Also, somewhat related, my mid-30s have not been kind to my hair … Continue reading At the Moment … 10.18.18
I was thinking today how uninterested I am in reading a lot of theology at the moment and what a huge shift this is in my intellectual appetite. I used to LOVE theology and used to read it almost exclusively. When I was in college, I wanted to be a modern, female C.S. Lewis (until … Continue reading Intellectual appetites
