spontaneous overflow.

I'm leaving Tumblr.

For several reasons:

I feel like I’m at a season in my life where I’m just so eager to give back to God and really focus on what he wants me to do, how he wants me to love people with his love (heaven knows mine is entirely inadequate), how he wants to use me. Tumblr isn’t very consuming at all, especially lately (considering I’ve been posting like once a week?) but it’s just one more thing that takes time and ultimately distracts me.
Also: I’ve come to the point of seeing that same cross-processed bokeh-bedecked fake-polaroid picture with the helium balloons (oh wait, like every other picture on Tumblr?) one too many times.
But don’t get me wrong. I have an infinite amount of favorites on Tumblr, most of whom I’ve mentioned in the previous post. They’re very worth following.
But do email me at thestarsnatcher@gmail.com and feel free to add my on facebook (Jessee Fish). My formspring is still open as well. You’ve all been great and I’m so glad I’ve met the people I’ve met through Tumblr. (: If I could give you all a peppermint, I would. Maybe even two.
Cheers.

I'm sick of your religion, religion, religion.

Quit your worship charades.
   I can’t stand your trivial religious games:
Monthly conferences, weekly Sabbaths, special meetings—
   meetings, meetings, meetings—I can’t stand one more!
Meetings for this, meetings for that. I hate them!
   You’ve worn me out!
I’m sick of your religion, religion, religion,
   while you go right on sinning.
When you put on your next prayer-performance,
   I’ll be looking the other way.
No matter how long or loud or often you pray,
   I’ll not be listening.
And do you know why? Because you’ve been tearing
   people to pieces, and your hands are bloody.
Go home and wash up.
   Clean up your act.
Sweep your lives clean of your evildoings
   so I don’t have to look at them any longer.
Say no to wrong.
   Learn to do good.
Work for justice.
   Help the down-and-out.
Stand up for the homeless.
   Go to bat for the defenseless.
