In bed drinking a banana almond smoothie. I don’t get HOW, but it srsly tastes like vanilla milkshake.
Half a banana, one cup of almond milk, blended!
Let’s pretend I am that pretty girl <- over there!
I’m not asian… I have perfect skin and makeup… and a nice sweater…. OKKK??
Uh, I’m falling behind on news and politics lately. Not that I mind.
Catching up on a year’s worth of reading… just fiction.
"It seems to me that it is a minority that gets the true and full gospel. We just keep worshiping Jesus and arguing over the right way to do it. The amazing thing is that Jesus never once says “worship me!” He says, “follow me” (e.g., Matthew 4:19). Christianity is a lifestyle—a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However, we made it into a clever “religion,” in order to avoid the lifestyle itself. One could be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain, and still believe that Jesus is their “personal Lord and Savior.” The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great."

"From the genocidal practices inflicted on Native Americans (my father’s people) to the irradiated ashes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to the killing fields of the Philippines, Vietnam, Iraq, South and Central America and Central Asia, the people of the U.S. have refused to acknowledge and take ownership of the collective sins they carry. German soldiers were no more evil than their fellows in the U.S. military, who, for example, man the operation systems of Cruise Missiles and navigate predator drones, and kill, detached from feeling, from thousands of miles away. After all, they are only following orders, just doing their jobs as loyal soldiers and good Americans…just like all those good Germans of my grandmother’s day."
