Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays. I hope you all spend the day with people you love.

There is a lot of good in the world, and there is a lot of bad in the world.

You will find whatever you look for.

Always remember to make time to look for the good.

Just back from leading Xmas eve service at our tiny rural church.

You better believe we talked about baby Jesus having to be hustled across a border as a refugee to escape the secret police of the repulsive king, with the wise men helping.

A subversive from the manger on--merry Christmas y'all!

"...if any energy projects should be cancelled because they threaten national security it should be fossil fuel plants, since the US defense and intelligence communities have issued literally dozens of reports...identifying fossil-fuel use and climate change as threats to national security..."
Trump is manipulating national security to stop energy projects he doesn’t like
On Monday, December 22, the Trump Administration announced it was pausing five major offshore wind energy projects, citing “national security risks.”

Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Happy Winter Solstice and Fourth Sunday of Advent. It is early here in England and the church bells just rang across the street in this small town in the Cotswolds. And the candle today is for Love. Wishing you each light and love in times of the dark.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I get the @billmckibben.bsky.social Substack newsletter in my email. Well, apparently, I'm also getting "Trump Store" ads. 🤮
