I honestly don’t blame Trump right now for the problems. I hold Republicans in Congress responsible for approving the Cabinet that doesn’t challenge his craziness and doesn’t protect the balance of power required of them by office. Let’s turn our focus on them as much as we talk about Trump.

Someone asked me about the end of the world. I said we should talk about their understanding of heaven first and what that might look like as prospect for hope!

I think it is premeditated on Biden’s part to expose the hypocrisy of the pardoning power. Wait and see what else May come and then maybe we the American people will now examine the privilege anew! Maybe it’s a good thing!

Today, the first snow fell. Beauty invited me to stop, notice, slow my pace inside, and….go bake bread! We all have a spiritual practice. What’s yours? If the left engages spiritual practices we can be more responsive and focused!

Sadly, her admission of sorrow for sending it at a heightened moment of family disruption does not undo his history. Mothers do know and it’s an interesting source that is likely to shape the approval process. I get upset with all the lying. It makes me sad and teaches our children to mistrust all.

NYT report that the market may curb the next president in choices as money is a central value connected to his identity. As Black Friday shopping surges, consider that our simple choices (or choosing not to buy) has an effect on the incoming presidency. More civic- conscious citizens needed.

Are you experiencing anxiety with the appointments and headlines? Richard Rohr, spirituality writer and director suggests a practice: I recommend a serious fast from cable and internet news. The amygdala cannot process this much negativity, misinformation, opinion, and paranoia. It gets hooked.

This is much like parenting. Some learn best by natural consequences. And we can take a stance of asking good questions when the folks are experiencing those challenges! Colleges have a role to do so! #highered
