For all its shortcomings, I still believe the faithful and quiet work of the local Church is the way forward. Let’s struggle to live out the counter cultural ways of Jesus together.

There is much to grieve this week. I don’t believe you need to find a silver lining in every trial, but last night I met online with 30 folks from our diocese across the Southwest and Mexico, and we learned church history and prayed Compline together.

Dude, caregiving for a disabled and medically complex kid is a freaking wild ride. One moment we’re giving meds and water through her g-tube like usual, and the very next moment, we’re suctioning blood from a nosebleed from hell for an hour straight. Who needs coffee with this kind of adrenaline?

Yes.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

How quick we forget.

Guy Patterson would be so disappointed in what a terrible dad Adam Fisher is.

Getting a good little rain in Wheat Ridge currently!

Sameeeeeee.

Ooo where can I get this sign??

Such a great deal… just subscribed!

Robber’s Cave??

Went to Costco, got a 79¢ Coke (we bless God the Pepsi is gone), and while I was checking out, they notified me I qualified for executive membership for a small prorated fee. I now get to shop one hour earlier than other Costco members, and nothing can bring me down today.

“The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the pentagon…”

For some reason, I can’t seem to message you!

I’d love to buy a couple!

This seems just crazy enough to work. Topped with some flaky salt? I’d eat them.

Ever wonder where the tomato on your July4th burger comes from? These Central Valley tomato harvesters spend hours bent over under the sun harvesting. On an average they lift around 170 buckets a day. Each bucket weighs 25 Ibs. It's exhausting, physical labor. WeFeedYou

What a grievous day in America.

Taylor, it means a lot to me, the mother of a severely disabled child who is fully dependent on Medicaid for her life, that you care so much. Truly truly.

Insanity. Infuriating. #savemedicaid

I shamefully don’t watch basketball, but as an Oklahoman, I’m loving the OKC pride filling my timeline. Also, Braum’s. I can feel the joy all the way over here in Colorado. ⚡️🍦

Amen.

You cannot bomb your way into peace.

There is an anhinga hanging out in the Boulder, CO area, and my local Colorado bird FB groups are losing their minds. I need to drive up and see if I can spot it!

I feel like this could solve all my problems.

Christ, have mercy.

Our God is characterized by justice, care, and concern for the oppressed and defenseless. Woe to those who are unjust and deprive the vulnerable. <Isaiah 10:2>

Grief upon grief in this country right now.

“…We have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep… we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws… apart from Your grace, there is no health in us.”
