I might keep a running list of things I’m throwing away to make room in the garage. The first thing out today was a 10lb. brick of clay that dried into a doorstop about 20 years ago. Time to go.

Follow Jack for religion news. Religion is behind or related to so many issues, both political and social. His stories are always interesting and informative.

BTW: if you're wondering why you haven't heard much about this, it's partly because there aren't many religion reporters.

But @rns.org — a small, independent, nonprofit newsroom — covers stories like these across the country.

The Hunter's Moon

Art. A drawing of a gold and orange full moon behind the bare limbs of a tree or bush. The tree is done in black. The background of the piece is a grey that is as soft as a mole's dream.

There was a full moon last night. The Harvest Moon. A bunch of calendars and folks on social media got that wrong, calling it the Hunter’s Moon as that’s the one that usually falls in October. As this was the first full moon after the autumnal equinox, it’s the Harvest Moon. I don’t make the rules. I just look them up on the internet.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.
