Well everyone, I hope you are having a nice day. Today I went to the mall and got tired and came home. While I was there, I learned on my phone that the US women’s soccer team won the world cup and destroyed every other nation on earth, leaving demolished wastelands with nothing left but steam and fire, kind of like the CD covers from middle school. I am happy for them and proud. It is something for our country to feel good about. I think it should count as an election and we could have a new surge of problem solving.
Anyway this reminds me to say a little idea which is that I thought of an interesting name for a church which would be something like Apocolyptic Nightmare Baptist Church. I really think that some people could not resist finding out what it is all about.
Today I read an article about a Holocaust survivor who died and had shared a quote that said “forgiveness is the best revenge.” I find that quote to be very inspirational. I do not really need to go into it but I am finding myself very capable of praying for people’s forgiveness for major violations but still am having trouble in the moment when people show disrespect from powerful positions, like if there is inappropriate music in a store. When that happens, I get mad and see no redemptive quality about them whatsoever, though in my free time I am able to pray for very bad people sometimes who have really ruined my life multiple times over. It can be confusing, but in a way it is not. It confirms the teaching that I learned early on which is that no one should think of themselves as being too innocent. Everyone needs forgiveness, and we do not always know the extent of how our faults and failures hurt other people.
But we also do not know the full impact of just our participation and staying alive, either. That is why I am about to eat some peach cobbler.
