Found this last night. This guy somehow managed to find the deeply hidden part of me that used to treasure so many things about the United States. Is there still hope? I pray so. I guess we'll find out. www.instagram.com/joeladamruss...

To live with chronic abuse is to live in silence, to be shut up. The voice of one so abused has been crushed and made inarticulate by intense fear, then is further silenced by the deafness of others. Recovery involves a reversal of the experience of trauma.

The message of the scars in the resurrected Christ is not that the resurrection takes the suffering away, but rather that the resurrection catches it up into God’s glory. The resurrection says what is dead can be transformed into life.

"That is not our choice. That is America’s, or at least the Trump administration’s. The democratic world must therefore regard and treat it as it does the other non-democracies: not as an ally to be consulted but as an adversary to be contained." #GiftLink 🎁 www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/90e3098...

Suffering people often need others to have faith and hope for them. Admonitions to hope or trust often result in despair; if the sufferers were able, they would do so. It is often helpful to say, “I know you struggle to hope right now. I will hope for you.”
