Bishop Budde struck a nerve! I love his attempt to take away the years of learning and toil that culminated in achieving a Bishopric, and on the unironically-named Truth Social, at that. And at that, at the Washington National Cathedral — literally centered in the heart of American politics. (1/2)

My adorable husband, The Mikey, holding my first book, dedicated to him. (With co-editor Vicki Stroeher—whose hubby is also a Mike—we dedicated the book to our Mikes.) 🎶🇬🇧

As always, the Mikey & I loved ambling through a local antique store with Mom. We enjoy that each year they decorate their trees with a collection of vintage ornaments. ❄️🎄
