“The Lord loves effort. What does that mean? It means we try. We do what we can. We do our best. We use our abilities and talents to the degree in which they have developed. God expects us to do what is within our power, and though our efforts may fall short, God loves that we try. Trust Him to make up the difference.”

“Lean into joy: When the world seems to be falling apart, it can seem selfish or irresponsible to enjoy stuff. But joy is not frivolous—it’s fuel we need to continue fighting for a better world. Watch a funny show. Bake cookies. Befriend some raccoons and train them to fingerpaint. Remember that fascists hate joy and humor, and doing stuff fascists hate is always a good use of our time.”

“I stayed close enough to feel your light. Far enough not to burn.”
