Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.
Holding hands is my favorite. <3

it’s so hard to explain to normal people that i have online friends because they start to judge you after you say “online”
Like when my coworkers ask what I do in my spare time……….and what I do with my friends….and I don’t know what to say because my friends are either really busy with school and work and thus we don’t really hang out often, outside of church and events, or they don’t live near me so I don’t hang out with them and I simply talk to them on the internet/online…….

Spurgeon on Church Membership:
Do not go where it is all fine music and grand talk and beautiful architecture, those things will neither fill anybody’s stomach, nor feed his soul. Go where the gospel is preached, the gospel that really feeds your soul, and go often.
