Retired preacher, recovering political obsessive, good music always welcome
The House Education and Workforce section of the reconciliation bill would eliminate the Education Department's authority to cancel student debt for borrowers whose schools defraud them.
So if you're a victim of fraud by your college, you'd still have to pay that loan that was fraudulently derived.

My wife just asked a pertinent question. If Musk, Zuckerberg, and Company can afford to lose multiple billions in net worth due to the markets crashing, without complaining, why is it so important they get a huge tax cut. Doesn’t make sense

Tesla has already started adding financing deals and referral rewards for Cybertruck, in its first year of production. If sales are falling even with discounts this early in the production run, the Cybertruck will only ever be a money losing program for Tesla. On track to be a truly historic flop.
"Based on how Model S and Model X sales have been tracking, we estimate that Tesla delivered between 9,000 and 12,000 Cybertrucks in Q4, which is likely less than in Q3" electrek.co/2025/01/02/t...

A concept I treasure from Martin Luther: the triple Advent (coming) of Christ: in Bethlehem, in glory, and in our hearts.

Giants vs. Cowboys-Is there any way both can lose the game?

We live in a both-and world,
not yet and already sitting side by side.

Both Advent and Christmas.

Both brokenness and beauty.

Creation and rebellion and redemption all together.

We sing O Come Emmanuel and Joy to the World.

The older I get the more I’m convinced that humility is the highest virtue…the foundational character quality that makes all other virtues possible.

Humility isn’t always natural or easy, but once taken up, it is a light load. Hubris, however, is heavy; maintaining your own rightness is exhausting.

Interesting thing at lunch. I’m in Birmingham, AL. Captains D’s has a sign, catfish imported from Vietnam.

We live3 hours from the Catfish Capital of the World, Belzoni, MS and we’re importing catfish. Make it make sense
