"I am able (/possum/) every hour" . . . to look into the clear and perfect Word, as in a mirror, and see an image worthy of repentance, for every day at every hour the Lord is beckoning us back to Himself, and our true selves.

Dear Legislators:
Impeachment, conviction and removal is the only tool you've got left.
Strongly worded press releases won't do it.
Talking loudly on TV won't do it.
Only action will do it.
Publish impeachment articles (Venezuela, Epstein, Pardon profiteering) and pursue them.
Do it now.

Number of complete books I read in 2025: 0.
Number of years since college I have read zero books: I don't know but it keeps growing.
And, as a person who loves books, that makes me sad.

Oh, you’re a lifelong student? What field of study?

But not as much as God, you see
But I still love theology
Always and forever.
Always and forever.”

I didn't think it possible, but in an astounding feat of pop music genius, U2 managed to add two new musical themes to the end of Pride (In The Name Of Love) on their Songs of Surrender album. Check it out!

My most recent Orthodox-styled peeve was when, in our local community Christmas concert, while rehearsing & performing Christmas Day by Gustav Holst, one of the tenors behind me kept singing “Christ *was* born,” & there wasn’t enough time to explain why it’s more correct to say “Christ *is* born.” 🙄
