Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio [via: Amazing Posts]
Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
When in doubt, just take the next small step.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

heretic?
thomasfitzpatrick:
Mistaken thinking that leads some to believe that virtually no one is a heretic (reserved for professing christians):
“They can’t be a heretic because they are successful so God must be blessing them.”
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion” (pluralism).
“We are supposed to love everyone” (tolerance).
“We are not supposed to fight.”
“They can’t be a heretic because...
Lead Us Back
“Falling down upon our knees Sharing now in common shame We have sought security Not the cross that bears Your name Fences guard our hearts and homes Comfort sings a siren tune We’re a valley of dry bones Lead us back to life in You Lord we fall upon our knees We have shunned the weak and poor Worshipped beauty, courted kings And the things their gold affords Prayed for those we’d like to...

you may not walk down that particular aisle, but you still went to the store that sells it.

i think that i would rather be one of those people who creates, more than i want to be one of those people who posts pictures of what other people have created.
there’s only so much time you know.
lyrics on my mind today...
It was a five-band bill, A two-dollar show. I saw the van out in front From Idaho, And the girl passed out In the backseat trash. There were no way they’d make Even a half a tank of gas. They looked sick and stoned And strangely dressed. No one showed From the local press. But I watched them walk Through the bottom land, And I wished that I played In a rock & roll band.

look how typical i am!!!
Where Introverts Get Their Energy
Introverts tend to get their energy from within, so being with people is draining. After a day filled with people or activities, introverts tend to feel exhausted and empty. To recharge their batteries introverts need to be alone reading, daydreaming, painting, or gardening – any solo activity fills them up again. This doesn’t mean introverts have to live...
Is Pornography the New Tobacco? ☀

It is referred to knowingly, whether explicitly or with a wink and a nod, in more public venues than one can possibly enumerate — including on phones and in video games and popular music, in comic books and on skateboards, among other areas of...
