And I'm so glad.

It’s good to see some of this articulated so thank you to the author for such time, thoughtfulness, and care.
Two thoughts as I read it: 1) I don’t know anyone who would identify within this broad category who would actually like to be identified as an “Umm.”

Disoriented. Demotivated. Discouraged. Disembodied.
After two years of upheaval, @MikeDaMoore reflects on why some Christians have stopped attending Sunday services for now—and what church might look like for them in this liminal time.

I was so proud of Australia's response to Covid last year. Now I'm just embarrassed. @ScottMorrisonMP the grace period is over. You've had plenty of time. FIX this. Get more vaccines. 4% of a tiny population is a joke. Fix this. And solve our border issues. Time's up, sir.

Hey Mr @ScottMorrisonMP we’re done. Open our borders. It was necessary for a time but we know how to do it safely now.
Sincerely,
Half of Australia
For readers confused about why there are there so many Australians overseas... A key bit of context is that Australia is one of the most multicultural, ethnically diverse nations in the world. Half the population has at least one parent born overseas.

I redesigned my entire website, graphics, and several of my most important pages yesterday and the day before.
So yes, I’m definitely in manuscript writing mode.

My parents' generation feared losing us from Christian community to "the world."
Now my generation is concerned our kids (and our peers) are rejecting Christian community because of the church.
Jesus isn't the problem here.
Thank you for articulating this so well @drmoore.
We are losing a generation—not because they are secularists, but because they believe we are. What this demands is not a rebranding, but a repentance—meaning, as the Bible does, a turnaround. russellmoore.com/2021/04/15/…

Normalize Grief (a thread)
Grief is personal. It doesn’t work on a tidy timeline. We respond to it differently, are impacted by it differently, and are changed by it differently.

For the last year I’ve been proud to be Australian and grateful for the handling of Covid. But now? We need a way to safely travel and receive visitors without expensive mandatory hotel quarantine. Closed borders worked for a time. But time’s up. Figure it out @ScottMorrisonMP

Once in a generation floods happening in my state right now. It’s been raining—bucketing—for a week now and it’s relentless. Seems every year we have a new catastrophic weather event. “Is this normal?” we keep asking while also denying any efforts to search for wider factors.

A lesson on not mincing words. Thank you @minh81.
