Anyone listening to Andy Gullahorn? If you haven’t listened to his music yet, I’d highly recommend it! There’s wit, insight, and emotion in his writing that has impacted me, especially with his new album Winning Streak.

What a privilege to be using my Grandmother’s Bible for evening prayer tonight. There is a legacy of faith that we get to be a part of and prayerfully pass on to the next generation.

The phone is not the enemy. The enemy is fear. fear of stillness fear of silence fear of being alone with one's own thoughts.
…use it, but do not be used by it. Hold it, but do not be held by it. truest moments of life happen in the spaces where there is no screen.

Day 1 thoughts post T-Day.
I think we need to let go of the notion that the Trump Administration wants to trade at all. They’d rather make and consume everything within their own borders before giving money to anyone or anything that is not American.

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said.
"I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative."

How interesting … I just saw a headline talking about JD Vance, and it made me realize something. With all this talk about Trump and Musk one hardly hears anyone talk about Vance lately!

Come desire of nations come
Fix in us Thy humble home
Rise the woman's conquering seed
Bruise in us the serpent's head
Adam's likeness now efface
Stamp Thine image in its place
Second Adam from above
Reinstate us in Thy love
Hark! The herald Angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
