Posting again...

So my Instagram was STOLEN from me back in April, and I just didn’t have the heart to get back on any social media, but especially Instagram or my Tumblr here that was connected to the Insta. I have finally put my big-girl pants back on and thought I’d get in here and clean it up, and get back to posting. I’m sorry I was gone so long! Thanks for still being around. :)

(I do NOT have an Instagram, so do not follow it.)

Excerpt: "...Then there is the pressure of Christmas -- financial and mental baggage held together with a desire to please others.

"Social media is a great enabler of envy, covetousness, jealousy and depression. Far less appreciated and more pernicious, social media helps enable our isolation.

Practical Theology from Moody Bible Institute: These days justice seems more like a slogan than personal responsibility.

Snippet: "These days justice seems more like a slogan than personal responsibility. Justice is a word we see on protest signs and hear in political rhetoric. We demand it from courts, corporations, and Congress. So it’s easy to understand why, in the book of Micah, justice is one of the failed responsibilities of Israel’s leaders (Mic. 3:9). Injustice is a sin often committed by those in power."
