Things I've overheard / seen in places which made me pause and go "Yup!"
"He's a really great drummer, he's like flying business class." "So what do you look for in a woman?" "Spiritual maturity. No selfies." "This conversation will get harder, before it gets simpler." "Does the way you communicate give value, or take value?" "Now that we know one another better I am gonna google you, ok?" "Well I don't know where YOU'RE from, but here at (name) (denomination) church of Tuscaloosa we don't DO WORSHIP." "If you're a leader and someone under you gives you critical feedback on your performance, anything LESS than a reward is a punishment." "Writer’s block is a writer’s best friend; it tells you you don’t know where you’re going…” "The whole concept of 'background music' makes no sense to me" "I’ve never met a cat with realistic expectations" "You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." "I'm not a tree hugger. I like to kiss them as well." "If I can be made to feel so low and insecure about myself from half an hour of magazine reading - I wonder how girls feel day-to-day" "I bought the world’s worst thesaurus yesterday. Not only is it terrible, it’s terrible." Alex: "Why is your Wed. night worship different from your Sun. morning worship?" Student: "Because the big people scare me." Churchgoers like idea of diversity. They just don’t like being around different people. "If you don't use your imagination, someone else will use it for you." "Even if they proved God didn't exist, I'd never be a New Atheist. They are THE equivalent to the modern white man. Oblivious as ever." "Religion is obsessed with rules. I'm obsessed with life. Jesus keeps opening my mind to new questions." If someone tells you, "you're sharp," and you think they're throwing you a compliment, then you might not be a musician. I had to write "denomination" in an email and I kid you not, it auto-corrected to "venom partner." IS THAT YOU GOD? Agnostics talk cheerfully of man's search for God but they might as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat. "Stop talking to me like I'm one of your girlfriends! I don't need empathy just tell me what to do!" - a male friend (I told him what to do) If Christianity needs to be “new,” it does not need to be Christian. "Her mind regarded truth as a reference point but certainly not as a shackle."

Why?
Probably the best therapy is to express yourself. Why do you think psychiatrists make you lie on the couch and talk, while all they do is murmur "hmmm", "uhuh", or "go on"? Archives
