I'm currently listening to the each of the audiobooks of the Harry Potter books, followed by its movie, and I'm getting really excited about the HBO show because goodness so much great stuff from the later books wasn't covered.

Flying out of Midway 1 day after yesterday’s near-miss. Our pilot just came out to the cabin and gave a really lovely speech about how he knows there’s a lot going on right now and his top priority is to keep us safe. ❤️

Working on this project with @derwinlgray.bsky.social has been pure joy--a shared Kingdom partnership where it's all about Jesus and the people He loves. I'm so thrilled to see this book go out into the world today!
Happy launch day to @derwinlgray.bsky.social and Lit Up with Love! 🎉 No more guilt-driven evangelism—it’s time to rediscover your own belovedness so you can love others in their deepest needs. Only then will they be able to encounter the One who can truly fulfill them. #LitUpWithLove

I'm not saying I married the best guy, but I am saying that the guy I married just told me that his plan for my birthday involves giving me money (since I'm terrible about spending money on myself) and sending me out with my best friend to go thrift-store shopping (which she has been dying to do).

What does it look like to be the people of God, participating in his Kingdom instead of serving Rome?
The Trump administration has cut the funds that help new refugees pay rent and settle in the US. Faith groups that help refugees -- and the churches that work with them —say they are not giving up

Faith groups say they'll help refugees despite Trump order. But they'll need help.

Last January, my son’s (generic) medication was $30 for a 30-day supply. That price held through the end of the year.
As of today, it’s now $350 for a 30-day supply.
I’ve not been able to follow the flurry of EOs since Jan 20, but…is there anything to explain this??

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good…
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
—Psalm 37

The line between “this is how we solve the climate crisis” and “this how the first Godzilla movie begins” feels very thin
An international research team has successfully drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter-long) ice core from Antarctica that dates back 1.2 million years. The sample extended so deep that it reached the bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

- the author tells us casually that she dropped a Christmas tree on her foot and thinks she broke several toes
- the marketer messages her nurse-neighbor for advice
- we all heartily agree to end the meeting immediately to send her to urgent care.

I'm working on revisions for @vickicourtney.bsky.social's new book, and this part takes my breath away every time. What a gift to have a woman of my mom's generation saying this stuff to young moms like me.
