Regardless of what you believe, or how you live your life, I welcome you to watch this series. I’ve been a Christian for most of my life (and Christians have annoyed me for most of my life lol) and this series (now in it’s third week) is helping me see Jesus in a ways I didn’t see before.
Plus, Andy Stanley is a great speaker :)

“I’ll be cool with being like a churchlady housewife. Cool?”
He replied with a very emphatic NO.
Oh okay.
Back to the drawing board.
Cool story bro. Great advice.
A Story On Confidence, Compliments, And Street Harassment - Good Women Project
I love this site.
lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.
welcome to my world.
- watch CBS shows. Creeping up on old man status and that’s cute.
- live simply. Even if you got it, no need to spend it.
- send me bible verses for encouragement. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
- are not afraid of maintaining their personal growth. Go to the therapist just because. That’s great.
- are not afraid to indulge in corny media consumption. That’s me, all day everyday. Don’t be scared.
This has been a public service announcement.

to like someone who inspires you to be closer to Jesus.
Oh.
This is an unavoidable fact—the whiteness of the hipster population. The very essence of being a hipster is being privileged enough to call yourself one (or, more often than not, to deny that identity). And privilege is something constantly, perhaps eternally, accorded to white people. The traits associated with this genre of American are all related to privilege, in some fashion: lack of gainful employment with a strong financial dependence on one’s parents; interest in the arts; middle-class background; high level of education; a love for irony, even.
But couldn’t these qualities also be attributed to certain sects of the black race? Although I don’t typically associate the aforementioned traits with black people, it’s undeniable that I possess them all. And there are plenty more where I came from, in Brooklyn and beyond—people who are unmistakably of the black community, yet part of a minority because we are educated, and some of us part of an even smaller minority because we are artists.
A position a lot of people find themselves in nowadays.
Interesting read.
