Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.
Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Here’s a reminder that, if you are having a bad day, getting outside can help. And if you are having a good day, getting outside can make it great! #takeahike #walking #outside #nature #mentalhealth

Love this. Thank you Mr. Stewart….this started my birthday off with a bang.
Sir Rod Stewart didn’t just perform in Toronto, Canada. He roasted Trump on stage💥
“51st state, my f’ing ass.”
We’ll survive without your greed, guns, or gold toilets.

Canada doesn’t need dictators, delusions, or Donald.

Last year I started an embroidered journal, but never finished it. Life started getting crazy, and embroidery was not happening. Once I get moved, I might go through Fb posts to fill it in. #embroidery #journaling #slowstitching #leapyear #calendar

Hungary is on fire with their fight against dictatorship and celebrating freedom! #freedom #pridecelebration #hungary
A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.

Heat wave at the cottage! Good grief…we need some air conditioning if these spells are going to last 10+ days. But the bees are having a heyday on the wild rose, and I got the back porch cleaned up a bit. #puremichigan #cottage #lakelife
