Philosophicalness

I posted this in 2016:

"Life is like chess: I have no idea how to play chess" - Sam Grittner

True.

Just now I came across this:

"Too many people live their lives like Chess, always planning 12 steps ahead and trying to “win”. But life is more like Tetris. You can only ever know what’s immediately coming next and try to not die for as long as possible." - Shower Thoughts

Also true.

Happy Zachary Levi's 38th Birthday!

May we have plenty of opportunities to enjoy this year.

Sadly true

"What's so discouraging in this cultural moment of ours is the church as a whole doesn't have a moral leg to stand on. Our communities are often extensions of political parties, lusting for power, and bereft of a holiness that is to characterize the people of God." - Rich Villodas

Embrace it

If you find yourself single, home alone in a pink bathrobe on a Saturday night, and realize you're listening to various covers of your favorite sappy song on repeat, checking christianmingle for sales, and facebook stalking the friend who broke your heart 13 years ago, even though you know he's not on facebook, so you're actually having to stalk his siblings, just go for it and have the ice cream.
Heck, go all out. Use the Mr. Darcy mug.

Not what I was planning for my first post back...

but I feel like I have to post something just to get the juices going. Please feel free to not watch it, as it's a very foul-mouthed history lesson. This is the actual response of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire when he told them to submit to him. 
Well, with the small difference that in the original 17th century Ukrainian, it rhymed.
