Listen, more people can grow food than most think! Do you have a balcony with good sun? Grow a potted tomato or pepper plant. Partial sun? Grow herbs or greens! No light? Get a grow light, shelf and a seedling tray w/coco coir & grow microgreens! Each neighbor grow something diff & share! Go grow!
They’ll continue to increase the levels of cruelty until we all unify and stand up. We can’t keep adjusting to and normalizing their cruelty.

Hey, so if you’re a Presbyterian and you want some background to standing against “Christian Nationalism” a la 1930s Germany, check out the Theological Declaration of Barmen in the Book of Confessions!

Sometimes good Christians get really triggered when they hear Jesus’ words that don’t agree with them. This is what is called room for growth! Hearing that we aren’t as righteous as we think is hard, but it can be used to motivate us to do better.

With Oracle buying USA TikTok, YouTube requiring govt IDs, and a newer app in development called Neptune requiring a recent OS that my (old) phone doesn’t support, combined w/ my refusal to use Twitter or Meta… it seems Bluesky will be the last one standing for me.

Ok, I discovered what one of the other insect problems is in the garden: blister beetles, along with massive varieties of grasshoppers. The beetles apparently feed on grasshopper eggs, but they also decimate foliage, including seedlings! Help?! How to deal with them naturally? #gardeninghelp

Welp, I’ve never grown okra before, so I let them grow way too big, and they are very woody. Ah well, there are more growing at least!

Even as the daily evil makes me want to scream and vomit, I will continue fighting for what is good and kind to replace it.

Y’all, I preached on Galatians ch. 5 for a new church where they were voting on whether to call me to be their pastor. I thought my bringing in slavery for the teaching point might be triggering for them, but nope, it was the circumcision that Paul brought into it. 😅 Nevertheless, they called me. 😎

The US never fights wars for ‘freedom’, unless by freedom you mean freeing other countries’ of their resources and autonomy to say no to the capitalist machine.

As a former photographer, this is a prime example of how what the photographer focuses on (& excludes) is VERY subjective. These are very different from the peaceful protest Live streams and even the video of cop aiming and shooting a reporter with rubber bullet.

For those feeling afraid, I get it—times being what they are. But remember this: if you’re going to be in danger either way, be in danger for doing the helpful, useful, uplifting thing. Now is the time to serve love over fear.

A bird joined our Live church broadcast this evening at the most perfect time!!! I was talking about the Spirit of God being in all things and a bird flew from behind my head at that exact moment!!! 😎😎😎 We were filming inside a library for further context.

Sometimes there are garden tasks that are no fun at all and so I procrastinate. Today I got one of those done! Woo hoo! (It was deeply digging around a blueberry bush to both get stubborn weeds out and add peat moss to help acidify soil so it’ll produce next year.)
