Reader, walker, but no longer a worker. Possibly a codger. Most of my favorite movies are pre-1970. I use this app to post pictures of the sky, some nice music now and then, and to root for the survival of the American republic.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

Turn our focus, Lord Jesus,
onto the treasures of your kingdom,
to love, mercy, peace, justice;
to the life we are offered
in following you.
Let our hearts be set
not on outward image,
for all that glistens is not gold.
Heal us within,
that we may shine your light.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

I'm wondering more and more what Putin's been blackmailing Trump with all these years. Is the Yellow Shower story true? Is the Bubba gay story true? It's more than the young girls with Epstein, as if that's not enough.

You sow into our lives, Lord,
the seeds of your kingdom,
of your love,
that we may bear
the good fruit of your grace.
Although we allow other seeds
also to take root within us
and bear their own fruit,
sift from us that
which is not of you;
fill us with your peace.

Dec 3 Scripture
Paradise, or as Isaiah calls it, "Mountain of the Lord" is described using the analogy of rich food and drink. It is meant to create in us a desire for Paradise. In the gospel, Jesus fullfills Isaiah's prophecy. Advent invites us to look forward to the same.

I'm old enough to remember when cabinet meetings actually meant something, and were not simply treated as long photo-ops in which the cabinet members brown-nose the president.
