Lamentations is not about being quiet and seeking comfort. It doesn't not look like easy listening piano solos.

Not journaling quietly in church. just. wtf.
1) Violence against her is violence against God
2) Violence against her is violence against me, against us

Again with the missing the point on #churchtoo. It's not "out there."
just say you're talking about Andy Savage, c'mon. #churchtoo #GC2Summit

Yaaaaay.
well the Billy Graham Rule might be rearing its head here today at the Billy Graham center at a program put on by the Billy Graham Institute. I hope not.
See: my bio. "Bitter" is there for a reason, y'all. #churchtoo #GC2Summit
The "safe space" they've talked about isn't actually available to them to really be vulnerable and honest with their pain.
"If." Somehow I very much doubt that should be an "if" there. #churchtoo #GC2Summit
"Is there anything more fragile than a smoldering wick?"
I feel like you have to pick one or the other with this phrasing, doc. #nitpicky
Y'all. y'all. It's my favorite Bible story. I don't know if I can watch him butcher it. #churchtoo #GC2Summit

Y'know. TO TALK ABOUT SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CHURCH #churchtoo
They have neglected their obligation to talk about literally anything else. #churchtoo #GC2Summit
As someone pointed out earlier today-- this is not the only way it happens. Jesus seeks the sheep, the lost coin. Jesus comes to us when we need him. #churchtoo #GC2Summit

Somebody's been watching twitter. #GC2Summit #churchtoo
