The plethora of the reaction I'm seeing here in regards to recent news is pretty much why I can't use this site. My heart gets crushed and filled with emotion that isn't healthy. I'll check in now and again, but you can find me on Threads and elsewhere if you wish to chat!

When your wife asks you to frame and hang an Elusive Otter print by @elbenherzart.bsky.social, by golly, you frame and hang it well.

I'm not sure how I feel about going through the first Father's Day without my dad. As I work toward my own adoption, there was the hope that he and I could soon celebrate this day together. But that's not happening anymore.
Hug your dads today. Call them.
Love them.

Today is Trinity Sunday, which means reciting the Athanasian Creed in its entirety at Divine Service this morning!
Some see it as a drag as it's such a long creed, but I adore it. I look forward to it every year.

I honestly did this with both The Silmarillion AND The Lord of the Rings. Failed the first time I attempted both.
Set them aside for another time, tried again when I was ready, and now they're some of my favorite of read literature.

Similarly, if you WANT to read a book and are struggling for any reason to get through it, you can just. Put it down. At any point! And save it for later to try again. Don't struggle to the point of hating something you want to enjoy.
Heads up! You can stop reading a bad book. At any point. You're not beholden to the book or the author.

Happy Mother's Day to the wonderful woman who brought me into being. She instilled within me a gentle, patient spirit and taught me the loving kindness that shaped my view of the world. God bless her and all like-minded mothers on this earth. Thank you for being you, mom.

I wish there were a way for me to either read more quickly or have more time to read. I struggle to get through even two books a month, yet my TBR list is ever-growing.
Any tips from voracious readers, especially those with full-time jobs, on how you get through what you do?

Wife, after trying to open a jar of jam for her toast: "Why won't this thing open?!"
Me: "The lid is shut. It was made by those who are-"
Wife: "Oh my God..."
Me: "-dead. And the dead keep it. The lid is shut."
Wife: "Go away."
Me: "And now, you shall rye."
