I told a boy I liked him.

It’s been 7 years since I’ve had to muster up that kind of boldness.

That’s it, that’s the post. It’s all you get for now. [[& the truth is, the outcome doesn’t nearly matter as much, I’m just proud I let myself let my guard down again]]

Today has felt like 100 days And if that was true Maybe I’d actually have a reason to miss you

But just because it’s felt like 100 days doesn’t mean it’s been that long So missing you is silly

But I cant help but miss you anyways

For I tell you this: one loving, blind desire for God alone is more valuable in itself, more pleasing to God and to the saints, more beneficial to your own growth, and more helpful to your friends, both living and dead, than anything else you could do.

Consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.

William Booth 1829-1912

When we suffer anything for Christ’s sake, we should do so not only with courage, but even with joy. If we have to go hungry, let us be glad as if we were at a banquet. If we are insulted, let us be elated as though we had been showered with praises. If we lose all we possess, let us consider ourselves the gainers. If we provide for the poor, let us regard ourselves as the recipients. Do not think of the painful effort involved, but of the sweetness of the reward; and above all, remember that your struggles are for the sake of our Lord Jesus.

John Chrysostom

Even if you’re really good at hiding your sin, it will still lead to death. Jesus is better, Jesus is life.

Almost everyone finds their early days in a community ideal. It all seems perfect. They feel they are surrounded by saints, heroes, or at the least, most exceptional people who are everything they want to be themselves. And then comes the let-down. The greater their idealization of the community at the start, the greater the disenchantment. If people manage to get through this second period, they come to a third phase - that of realism and of true commitment. They no longer see other members of the community as saints or devils, but as people - each with a mixture of good and bad, darkness and light, each growing and each with their own hope. The community is neither heaven nor hell, but planted firmly in earth, and they are ready to walk in it, and with it. They accept the community and the other members as they are; they are confident that together they can grow towards something more beautiful.

Lord Jesus Christ, You alone are without sin. Grant us the grace to see ourselves and one another as You see us, stained but washed in Your reconciling blood. Help us maintain concord and unity among ourselves so that Your people might be strengthened to go forth into the world. Amen.
