Lifestyle Advent Calendar. Love this idea. Although I keep going to more coffee, more tea, more of all the non-waters.
Lifestyle Advent Calendar Day 1
Drink Water (Or low/no cal drinks)
Drinks can hide calories w/o giving you the feeling of being full.
Also, lots of times when we feel hungry we're actually dehydrated.

Help! I’m looking for other progressive Christians to follow!
Really it’s more like Original Christians—the ones who know Jesus was a poor, Brown man, born in a barn, to migrating parents. A person who accepted the most marginalized people as God’s own.

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

We knew it was coming, but watching more stories come out about women dying because of lack of standard pregnancy and miscarriage medical care is horrific. I'm a Christian mom-of-three. I'm here to say that abortion bans are absolutely NOT what Jesus would do.
NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
