Our artist group was permitted to create pieces reflecting the Advent story. They are on display in Common Ground at Circle Drive Alliance Church through Christmas. Since it has stayed pretty quiet, I hope those at Circle will stop by and take in the work the artists put so much care into.

There’s an acquaintance on Facebook I keep muting for a month, and it’s amazing how hard they hit my timeline when that month is up. Took your kids for supper at Hooters, did you? *Mute for another month*

Sometimes I feel guilty about the songs in my Spotify collection that I don’t delete, but often skip. Right now David Byrne is really getting skipped a lot. Sorry, David.

Once a week at my office they listen to Country music, and for me it almost rises to the level of torture. That awful twangy reimagining of Rebel, Rebel should be on trial at the Hague.

At least this keeps happening to other people and not just me all the time.
I hate when you’re investigating a copycat murder and the original killer claims to have information which he’ll only reveal if you grant him some special privilege which he then uses to escape

Sometimes my kids practice piano and guitar at the same time in different rooms both audible from my bedroom, and to me it sounds like jazz. But the kind of jazz they played on that show Homeland, in that it sounds irritating and dissonant.
