β€œThe Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man”. Look out for churches that have this in their statement of faith. They ignore revelation to women.

My husband always said that President didn’t have a lot to do with the economy. But then Trump is exceptional in so many ways

Nine days later, the confirmed cases rose to 49, of which 42 were kids. Most were school-age kids and 13 were hospitalized. For those of you doing the math, that’s 30%-45% of the infected kids are in the hospital. from Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist

Hmmm, the link to email also does not work. Seems they don’t want to interact with ordinary citizens.

Just tried to call the White House to tell them that I don’t want faithful government employees to be loyal to the president. I want them to be loyal to the United States, the constitution and the work to which they are called. Of course the White House comment line is closed.

The question is how to participate in changing the world rather than just dwelling in outrage. That’s the danger of this mediumβ€”outrage. Just staying mad and powerless. Any voice who can direct our action is the most valuable.

The guy who is so concerned about crime rate in the US blames immigrants, whose crime rate is lower than US citizens, and pardons convicted felons.

Suspected but now really convinced Harris did not win because of some pernicious combo of race-/sexism. How else to explain orange ogre’s crappy ratings from get go.

All sorts of ink on abusive behaviors of Gaiman, lots of back patting over Hegseth. I cannot make sense of the world.

Writing bills to buy Greenland. An exercise of any value to the American people?

I just kind of think that those of you rich enough to buy a house elsewhere should not be posting pictures of your house whether or not it survived the fires. That’s just my own badly formed opinion.

That was my advent devotional last year, but it is good enough that I kept it to read again in a year or two.
