Is it too much to ask to never hear the phrase “dense bean salad” ever again?

The struggle is real.

the millennial preacher impulse to quote relient k in my sermon

I’m just a girl, posting about a vice president, asking him to stop the bad theological takes

That’s exactly it for me, too. I use them a lot and so, while zero was the appropriate number of exclamation points for this particular email, it sounded mean or at least terse. 🤪

This is why God invented ebooks that can be read on phones

Happy Thanksgiving from me and this quilt I’ve had to re-pin three times!

But Daniel….

I knowwwwww 😭😭😭😭

A silver bobbin sits on top of a sewing machine table with three inches of white thread next to it.

I just won this game of bobbin chicken (iykyk) and I’ll be celebrating all day.
