I just found a pretty decent-sized spider on a web under my car's driver's seat, but when I went to get it, it escaped.
Like, upwards, somehow.
Into the shadows, where it sharpens its fangs and awaits my return.
It could probably wait years...

You usually won’t find Jesus by searching for proof of him. That is, you don’t get to know him personally by analyzing him academically. You’ll wind up knowing more about Jesus than you did before, but you can only get to know Jesus by seeking him, and seeking him on his terms.
Looking for Jesus Without Ceasing
How the simple decision to keep following Jesus, despite my doubts and questions, has made all the difference.

Cicadas don’t sting. They don’t bite. They generally don’t harm the environment. But they’re still one of man’s most diabolical nemeses and can take human life and/or limbs depending on what activity you’re involved in when they haphazardly fly at your face. They also enjoy humiliating people.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal:
“Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine."

Those with exorbitant power and wealth have a tendency to use their power to stack the economic odds in their own favor to collect more wealth while peddling the message that their wealth will somehow trickle down to the working class.

I grew up hearing from my working class extended family that government is the problem and needs to be downsized.
I don’t think they anticipated corporate corruption and pillaging of the working class by billionaires as the other side of the pendulum swing.

It isn’t perfection that matters. You’ll never quite get there.
It isn’t progress that matters most. It’s nice. It’s important. But it isn’t what life is about.
The PROCESS through which we become what we were meant to be? THAT’s what matters.
