It is with the heaviest heart that I share with you the news of my mother’s passing. After a valiant six years battling the harshest of cancers, she has been released from her pain and suffering into new life and wholeness.

The sun can literally set on your anger because some times you married someone who needs to process internally and hashing it out at 2am while tired is not going to help.
Got a last minute email asking if I’d talk to an undergrad class about Leviathan tonight.
To everyone that I owe an assignment to…. sorry, the dragon calls and I must go. BRB.
Mr Newton: “I say this with all the love in my heart but maybe if you had picked any other book than Job for your PhD, things wouldn’t always go wrong.”
I can’t even put into words the insanity of the last few hours. We’re fine. It’ll be fine. But when it rains, it pours.
Remember when
@ZonderAcademic
was the coolest person to reply to my tweets ever?!?!? Book mail day!! (Also, can you get over these mailers?!? Well done, Zondervan)
My son used to have a tracheostomy and a machine that would provide heat and humidity to his air supply. When we left the house, we couldn’t take the machine.
On these super cold days, I think about how hard it was. He’s been trach-free for 3 years now.
Birder friends. What is this? It has a tiny bit of yellow on its tail. It’s not normally around. We do get migratory birds in Texas at this time.

It's true. I shared on IG how well you were loving people despite their incapacity to return it. My friend had to see it for herself.
Its the social media grapevine.
#SBLAAR23
and especially
@IBRBBR
, you were a respite for me this weekend (despite the nonstop events). I’m headed back home (and the chaos) with an overload of books and even better memories of friendly chats.
See out all on the social medias!
@DennyBurk
Remember when I said you act like a bully because you target one woman and criticize her work all the time? And you said “no I’m just disagreeing” and later said if “I’m acting harsh etc let me know.” This is it: you keep coming at her. Leave it be.
Got my research topic approved for my seminar on war in the Old Testament. Managed to also use the same passages for Textual Criticism because my supervisor is wise and is saving my sanity.
I want this book. It's not on a give-away but I'll tag
@Dom_S_Hernandez
who has nothing really to do with it (I think) and
@ZonderAcademic
(who did email me about pre-order) and maybe it'll just happen.

I told my counselor that one of the best parts of our son’s 8 month NICU stay was the chaplain visits. She was never in a hurry and would sit with me for a while. Thank you.
7yo: “Mom, did you know you can get coffee at the hospital?”
Same 7yo who lived in the hospital for 240 days after birth.
Me: “Yes, I am aware.” [eye twitches, PTSD flares]
@JBsTwoCents
Your words show great love for your sweet girl. Praying as you wade in the grief of an altered future than what you expected. There is another world out there that sits quietly on the side: the families of special needs children. We have found hope there. I pray you find it too.
Of the making of flashcard piles there is no end. And much studying confuses the mind.
I’m mixing all my vocab, syntax, and principal parts cards now. Just to make myself hate Greek more.
Thinking about a short form writing or podcast project on the premise of:
“So I got this far in seminary without learning XYZ and now it’s too embarrassing to ask”
as short educational pieces to fill the gaps.
Me to 3 boys: “do you need valentines for your classes?”
Them: “no we don’t celebrate it.”
All 3 teachers: “ make sure your children bring their homemade Valentine collection boxes and cards tomorrow.”
Excuse me. I need to get 60 valentines. 🤦🏻♀️
Someone said I didn’t have my presentation ready because I refused to tell him about it.
So, I’m showing you now- I have a slide show, printed notes, a completed paper, blah blah blah.
@Pastakeith
As my counselor tells me when I ask, "Why is this guy still friends with my abuser?" The answer is the same, "That friend benefits from that relationship."
So my guess, is that they need to protect David. They benefit from it.
In spite of fools tweeting their foolish things today, I took my special needs child to the doctor and we got good news on a plan to remove his gbutton this summer. AND his weight finally hits the growth chart!
@writerdianalee
I was reading church emails and there's an upcoming women's event. And I think the event will be great but my introverted soul is like "what if I went and just took a nap?"

One perk of not driving is I’m clocking hours editing this morning (blurred out unpublished article but I’ll tell you, it’s fascinating). See you in a few hours

Should we be shocked that when surrounded by adults, he behaves himself?— excuse me while I go vomit that he’s going to be roaming in the same town as me
@tweetraychang
Get someone to bring good snacks or food. Pick out a fun show to watch during the middle of the night feeds. Never underestimate the power of the phrase, "I'm so proud of you." (My OB said that to me when I sat on the OR Table before an emergency c-section) - CONGRATS DAD!
I watched The Martian (again) last night and every time I get an overwhelming sadness that I chose religious studies over science.
I still like my degrees and am committed to them.

Please tell me other 6+ households are just using a basket for socks, unmatched.
This was 6 loads yesterday and still not all the laundry.
@riahthelee
For me, it’s been not limiting some things even if my inner voice is screaming purity culture nonsense. 11yo tried a 2 piece last year and hated it when she likes to jump in the pool a lot. I think we’ve talked more about appreciating the shape of our bodies
The greatest purchase I made during the SBL conference in Denver was a sled. It’s so foreign in Texas. We are the coolest people in the neighborhood on weekends like this.
@KSPrior
I turned to my friend after that scene and said, "That's what depression feels like. You can see the real world but you can't always get back to it."
@TrueConsolation
I don’t get the procreation emphasis as it is . Are they also admitting they’d like to just restrict intimacy to like a few days per month?
