Those of us who are lucky find things to believe that help reconcile ourselves to the absurdity and trials of life.
I watched "Heathers" in high school and the final scene always stuck with me. "Pretend that I did blow up the school, all the schools. Now that you're dead, what are you going to do with your life?" Each time I've "restarted" my life, an iteration of that thought was there.
I'm so impressed that, even after facing so many travails, you are still this incredibly kind and helpful human we all know today. Thanks for sharing such a moving story.
The only comic series ive read through is Y: The Last Man. It's a dystopian story where every living being with a Y chromosome dies. Lots of interesting lore, like Israel becoming super powerful -- cuz them IDF girls ;). From the panels you shared, Preacher's art looks similar to Y's. Thinking you might enjoy it.
P.S. I sent your piece to my very Christian mom who said: "I like it. I like their connection to God". So there ya go :)
I love how God grabs and hold us. I’m more and more convinced that God doesn’t care about the medium, binary or vessel, God just cares about humans and will always be needling those that are willing to listen that love/it/him/her/who cares, is there with open arms, like a damn Creed song.
I'm glad you're still here!

Also, you might enjoy "Job: A Comedy of Justice" by Heinlein.
I read Job!! Let’s talk about it!
Haven’t seen Heathers in ages but it seems like a perfect holiday watch.

I started Y when it first came out but my library never had the books in order. Definitely worth a reread now!
Thank you Jaye, I needed this tonight
