I'm convinced that if Kelsier had a spike, all Ruin would need to whisper to him is, "do it for the vine," and he would do literally anything.
“A . . . rock.”
“He hopped out of the wagon and found one, then he hit himself on the head with it.

I have inadvertently created the perfect storm. I teach high school math, including a statistics course where students are currently learning to collect and display data. I also run a mini cosmere library out of my desk for my young nerds.
This has led to grading student-made surveys during lunch only to be jumpscared by these responses.

The Christian life, from one angle, is the long journey of letting our natural assumption about who God is, over many decades, fall away, being slowly replaced with God’s own insistence on who he is. This is hard work. It takes a lot of sermons and a lot of suffering to believe that God’s deepest heart is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger.” The fall in Genesis 3 not only sent us into condemnation and exile. The fall also entrenched in our minds dark thoughts of God, thoughts that are only dug out over multiple exposures to the gospel over many years. Perhaps Satan’s greatest victory in your life today is not the sin in which you regularly indulge but the dark thoughts of God’s heart that cause you to go there in the first place and keep you cool toward him in the wake of it.
