I don't post much on these places. Not like I used to, anyway. I've found it takes too much attention from my kids and my homework, among other things. But I'm here to learn and to have a safe space when I need it.

At local church this evening. Singing a song that says God’s (Jesus’s) name “will stand above them all.” Does Jesus’s name stand above them all, or below them all, or outlast them all? “Above,” “dominion,” “power” are not attributes I would give to Jesus.

don't order books (or anything) from Amazon today! Instead, order from a small press, Bookshop, a local bookstore, or request a book from your local library. Yes, Amazon is "easy," but it's continuing to kill local businesses and concentrate wealth.

My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.
