anyone been following me long enough to remember Testimony Tuesdays? where folks could send in their personal experiences / stories — often answering a specific prompt, sometimes just general — for me to post?

with a different name because oof, "testimony" has so much baggage around it...maybe Storytelling Saturday? or Sunday idk which day is better lol
TESTIMONY TUESDAY
Okay so technically it is Tuesday and I gotta Testimony. So how about I ordered something from Amazon right?! Picture why I got my items (through Prime) super fast. Matter of fact, I received my items faster than the payment could be processed. Now that’s a miracle!!
That’s a whole’nother level of fast. Thank You Amazon Prime!!! Happy Customer over here!!!
And to think I was nervous about buying online from Amazon.
The Bible says that Christians will produce fruit (John 15:8; Matthew 3:10). Your testimony may produce fruit for God’s kingdom. Don’t waste this opportunity and share your testimony in a comment! www.shine-social.com

From Daniel Rivera
This status means everything to me. If you haven’t heard my testimony before, this was the night I almost ended my life. After struggling with many addictions and different struggles in my life, I didn’t want to deal with anything or anyone anymore. What I didn’t realize is God wasn’t done with me yet.
That night I came home late from a…

Testimony Tuesday:
“I didn't know what to expect, with this being my first trip to Pittsburgh, but Synod Hall in the university district with its beautiful auditorium and conference room upstairs was a welcoming environment for me. I walked in - late as usual - just as Suzanne Lewis introduced Marie Kopp who brought our gathering of writers and scholars back to the world of Flannery O'Connor - and specifically the relationship she had with her mother and others via classic letter writing. It's been too long since I read O'Connor, even as both my daughters are being introduced to her fiction in school right now. Marie reminded me why I need to reconnect. Marina Olson took up the topic of Aristophanes and Eros as the principle of Order in the society of his dramas. I'm ashamed to admit I never read the Greek dramatist, but I need to now. In the afternoon author Jonathan Ryan reintroduced us to the weird power of the novels of Charles Williams, the ‘forgotten Inkling’. And this brings up the whole wonder for me of the Festival of Friendship which launched officially as the evening arrived. As a science writer I appreciated being able to talk about the foundations of science and learning in the High Middle Ages and how they would have such a marked influence on the Renaissance and the later Scientific Revolution. In particular, on Saturday it was a joy to sit on a panel with Giorgio Ambrosio of Fermilab and Maria Elena Monzani of SLAC at Stanford, and highlight the beautiful illustrations and graphics from their room-length posters that fleshed out the key points of discovery and insight from the Middle Ages. But we spent the rest of this delightful weekend being surrounded by poets, some I know and love - Rebecca Bratten Weiss, Joanna Penn Cooper, Jessica Mesman Griffith—and many new poets I got to meet for the first time; and musicians drawing attention to our own rich history of ballads and laments - and scholars and activists drawing attention to the plight of women and children in the regions of the world where human trafficking is epidemic; the plight of refugees desperately looking for help outside their besieged homelands; and also examining how technology today affects our behavior toward our neighbors and family. The three concerts over the course of the weekend - and the beautiful poetry readings - helped inspire hope in spite of the somber nature of the issues we all grappled with. And we never forgot that this event—experience—was a festival of friendship, one I won’t forget.”
- John Farrell, speaker at the 2017 Festival of Friendship
heya so um i just wanted to share ~ i just realized that the concept of God being nonbinary has been evident to me from a young age - years before i knew what nonbinary even meant! for some reason i flashed back to an elementary sunday school class in which i was explaining to my classmates and teacher about how i thought God wasnt male or female, just... well, just God. no one really understood, but it just made sense to me. now i myself am nonbinary as well!
!!! that’s very cool!
Testimony Tuesday: My family has always valued how my partners treat both me, themselves, and others more than the genders of my partners. My family perceives compassion and respect as Catholic values, which they extend to all they meet and which they also expect others to employ as well. One of the last things Gramma said before she got sick and passed away was "two adults who love each other should be able to get married. God loves everyone equally!"

Testimony Tuesday!
Hey all! I want to get Testimony Tuesday going again (anyone remember that old thing?). A full description of what it is is in the above link, but basically, send any story about being LGBT+ and/or Christian and I’ll post it. I have a prompt that you can answer, or you can send in whatever you like.
The prompt for tomorrow: What is Advent to you, and how do you or your church observe it, if you do? Do you have any meaningful Advent memories or traditions, or plans to make this Advent meaningful?
