In these divided times, let's all come together and agree not to be people who:

- don't return shopping carts
- don't clean up after their dog on a walk
- gripe when kids get snow days bc you were neglected as a child
- park and get out in the student drop off line
- use speaker phone in public

If you think one religion should be privileged over others in the United States, I'm not sure you understand what it means to be a freedom-loving patriot.

If you think the Christian religion should be privileged over others in any nation, I'm not sure you understand what it means to follow Jesus.

I went into a bookstore to purchase a gift and I did not purchase any other books for myself. #NewYearNewMe

Things that do not bother me:
People from different faiths, cultures, contexts celebrating their holidays. Happy holidays!

Things that do bother me:
People from my faith, culture, context saying things like "Christmas is over." Christmas is a 12 day celebration. Lean into it. Merry Christmas!

Saw Wicked tonight. Teared up a bit. Got goosebumps. Heard wife crying a few seats down. Daughter sobbed for most of it. No one at my house has stopped singing since we've been home.

Beautiful.

Our church hosted an Untalent Show this evening.

We had ballet, juggling, singing, interpretive dance, paper airplane throwing, jello holding, the Office trivia, whistling.

We sang karaoke. We ate. We laughed.

And all was right for a brief moment in time.

Community is a gift.

Be sure to keep your light bright and shining - you never know just how many people you may be a lighthouse for. You never know how many people find their way home, even in the wildest storms, because you are there.

It has been a while since I opened this app but it is so incredibly refreshing that the default feed is people I chose to follow.
