If you’ve ever listened to Switchfoot you know they have always written songs wrestling with being human, what we see happening around us, and the hypocrisy of the church and religion.

The song Absolution off their new album mentions “losing your halo” and the shame experienced in the first verses. The bridge repeats “can’t find the way” and I believe before the religion was named Christianity the disciples called it “the way”.

Other verses mention it feeling like a “daydream,” like something we hope is real but when we wake up we see it isn’t. Or “phantom limb” like this part of you that isn’t really there anymore.

They’ve traveled the world with their music and I’m sure they’ve seen some difficult things in regards to suffering. They make themselves pretty available to meet fans so I know they also hear very hard stories from fans.

For me the intense suffering of humans and animals was the catalyst of my deconstruction. I now consider the connection between all living things to be god.

Anyway, I hope you go listen to the whole album because as a lifelong fan, this is one of their best albums ever.

She’s a fallen star, he was born in a hidden land, they journey together and meet up with pirates to fight witches and an evil prince. It was such a fun movie I’d love to read something similar

EDIT: photo is of the poster for the movie stardust. The female main character, a fallen star, stands pictured with the male main character while he holds a sword. On the left side of the poster are two of the pirates the main characters befriend. On the right side are the two antagonists, an evil prince and an evil witch.

Friday June 19 - Voter Information Table (training provided at the event)
Thursday June 11 @ 6:00pm
We are trying to get voters out in November. Believe it or not, the window to make the biggest impact is closing. The closer we get to election day, the less influence we have on turnout because voters experience election fatigue. Can you help us reach voters? You can help us place flyers in front doors of "friendly" voters - OR - write post cards to voters! The effort is directed towards voters who vote in presidential elections and skip mid-terms. The voters are registered as Independent or Democrat AND Catalist data scores indicate they are progressive voters. No experience required - anyone new will be paired with an experienced person. Event will be held at Durty Bull, 126 S. Trenton St., Gastonia. Anyone placing flyers will drive a short distance to a nearby neighborhood.

Saturday June 13
We will be hosting a Voter Information table in Ranlo from 2pm - 8pm and are looking for individuals that can staff the table during this time period (for whatever time period you may be available). Training will be provided.
