RBQ [is a whynotceros]
It's never been more perfect being alive. I'm not alright, but I'm sunny with a high of 75. I want to wake up kicking and screaming cause I've been sleeping in for days. Who I am hates who I've been, so I'm never going back to OK. These thoughts run through my head ...God's not finished with me yet.

Manna fall retreat
this weekend was really good for me because, for the first time in several weeks, I could feel again.
It’s been five weeks.
I’ve just been so …emotionless. Numb? Couldn’t really feel. Which really surprised me.
This weekend it felt so good to just feel again. Everything from overjoyed, loved, warm, and fuzzy, to empathetic, pained, and broken. It’s nice to know my heart’s still beating.
“Awakening” by Switchfoot:
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my heart’s still beating
It’s beating, I’m bleeding
Also I’m really glad our class is growing closer.

My psych textbook
has bible verses in it. Here’s why - the author is a Christian! I thought this was cool, especially since a couple of you on my dashboard were talking about psychology and faith?

NYT: "For Catholics, a Door to Absolution Is Reopened" →
Indulgences?
“You cannot buy one — the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567 — but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one. There is a limit of one plenary indulgence per sinner per day.”
What about, “by grace you have been saved”…not by works?
But, I’m no seminary graduate, professor of theology, or learned scholar. So what do I know?
Still, I do know that these are important things to remember:
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Saved by the grace of God, forgiven by the blood of Christ.
“How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.”
