Wonderful post—and laughing lovingly at our foibles (and others!) is therapeutic as we ask God for the grace of wisdom and strength to live rightly. And thanks for the quote on the world’s hyenas that seem especially ferocious now—their laughter is without love. May He deliver us from evil.
"In a world like ours, maybe God is all for which a religious person can truly hold any consistent hope. That might sound a bit pessimistic, but I don’t think it is. Pessimistic would be holding onto nothing at all and trusting the world to nothing and to no one, not to humans and certainly not to a God."
This is a STUNNING paragraph -- it reminds me of Hot!Priest's speech in "Fleabag" about love. Well done <3

Thank you, Anthony! And amen.
Oh, Joseph Larson, be assured...I absolutely cracked many smiles while reading this as well as all your other writings. So, Yeehaw.
