Don't Feed the Animals: Comparison

Don't Feed the Animals: Hatred

You don't really HATE anything, right? Sure, you use the word once in a while, but you just don’t really like them or it. Maybe, but hatred is a sneaky critter that knows how to put on nice clothes and say the right things so it can grow undercover. Needless to say, it isn’t a good bedfellow with love. It might be good to take a look inside to see what may be crowding love out of your heart.

To Get to the Other Side: Is this Working Anymore?

What voices are energizing me during these strange days as I ponder getting to the other side? Under normal circumstances, I’d be able to list off half-a-dozen authors or musicians without even thinking about it. But, after sitting with that question for a while, I started to realize that I wasn’t feeling energized at all. In fact, the only thing I really felt was...heavy. Fortunately, I was encouraged to have this conversation with two artists from the Fabric community: Adam Johnson and Eddie Hamilton.  ~Tim Kennedy
