(Speaking to a family in the after worship receiving line)
Me: (to 6 yr old boy) So what did you talk about in Sunday School?
Boy: The Prophets.
Dad: Which ones?
Boy: The normal ones.
Me: There were normal ones?
Dad: I think he means “usual” -as in the ones we often read like Isaiah.
Me: Ah. Right.

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

A song changed my way thru 2025.
Instead of focusing on evil (there’s plenty), I looked for goodness, truth & beauty. Not as naïveté or denial. But convinced that goodness, truth & beauty make us stronger, resilient, more humane. And that they reveal the weakness & ugliness of evil as it is.

Spirit, take us home
take us home by another way
take us long way ‘round the tyrants
and their schemes,
Give us strength to walk
Show us dreams of a better day
and we’ll pave the way with justice.
going home by another way.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

When I explain to people what is involved with writing a successful grant, they simply don’t believe me.
I explained it once to a famous person from Pixar, and he looked me square in the eye and said: You mean all the cancer and Alzheimer’s grants work that way? You’ve gotta be &$%#ing kidding me!

I don't think you non-science people realize what it takes to get a grant funded by NIH. Started experiments in Sept 2021 to generate 3 new mouse mutants to model human disease. Prelim dara shows they have relevant disease phenotypes worthy of study. Need a small grant first to characterize /1

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Hurricane Helene. Not one has been approved.

Part of what I think is a big problem for the left is that so many people truly believe that people can't change or grow, or be redeemed. People can repent and change their direction in life. We are not chained to the people we used to be, as long as we put in the work.
