Reader, walker, but no longer a worker. Possibly a codger. Most of my favorite movies are pre-1970. I use this app to post pictures of the sky, some nice music now and then, and to root for the survival of the American republic.

A few days ago, Trump, with his new "Department of War," said the USA hasn't been trying to win wars since WWII. He would be a very tough war-winner from now on. Then, he coughs up this Ukraine "peace" plan that is nothing but a surrender to Putin, white flags waving. What a gasbag.

Google docs grammar-check doesn't want me to use the word "seemly." Wants to make it "seemingly" instead. Google doc scratching its head and saying, "Dude, is that even a word?" Me saying, "Yes, actually. Look it up you dumb bastard!"

The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. A lot of things are going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons.

“Christian” can mean anything.
The followers of Christ will follow Christ.
Our actions will tell the truth about what we believe.
And our neighbours will experience that truth as love.

#MorningPrayer
Lord,
you call us to be salt;
not to be hoarded
for our own benefit,
but spread abroad
to be the savour of life
in love, peace and justice.
You call us to be light;
not to be hidden,
but to illuminate the world
with the light of your kingdom,
drawing hearts to you.

“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
