I've been trying to keep it together. Haphazardly put the lights back up. Patch things up. Give myself a pep talk. Make a plan. Set goals. Trial and error. But I haven't been getting it right.

Follow Jesus? What’s in it for me? (Deuteronomy 8)

Prosperity Gospel Is A Lie (Leviticus 26)
Summary: That feeling when you're just going about your business, having a nice life, and all of a sudden you get that twinge in the back of your throat. Oh no.

What’s In Your Wallet? (Leviticus 25)
Summary: What is in your wallet? Do you check way too often, like I do? Do you love budgeting or do you hate it? Do you have any idea what's in your account? Do you even want to know?

"We're in the endgame now." There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Our sins are forgiven. Our suffering will end. Sin will be destroyed forever.
The End of Shame (Leviticus 15)
Men ejaculate, women have periods. What's the big deal? Declaring them "unclean" until evening? Making them offer sacrifices? Why did God make the Israelites go through all of that? Is that shaming?
Mold In The Shower (Leviticus 13)
Summary: I can't be the only person who inspects a bench, table, or chair before I sit at it - can I? Am I the only one who can't lean casually against a surface that has crumbs or drink stains on it? Am I the only one that gazes warily at the trash and stains … Continue reading Mold In The Shower (Leviticus 13)
