I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years into full time ministry. Knowing this part of me has shaped how I've understood and approached my call. It is also why I’m excited about Katie Steele’s new book, The Sacred Spark, about the gifts of ADHD in spiritual leadership! tehomcenter.org/books/

I had to read this carefully.
Masking for disease prevention is good.
Autistic masking is bad.

Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked
Robert Reich Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs β€” while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care.

Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

Idk who needs to hear this but autism isn't evil and people with autism are delightful little gems and beloved children of God. Anyone telling u otherwise is selling something!

Third date was wonderful. Fourth date will be on my ordination anniversary on Sunday.
Will celebrate God's mysterious callings and time taken for healing by having a joyful, nostalgic (90s movies!), queer afternoon.

This is scary. This is dangerous. This is blasphemy. This is spiritual abuse and the idoltry of power and proximity to power.

If you are looking to stop using Spotify due to their CEO's investment in AI military tech, inclusion of AI created music, their low artist pay, or something else... I suggest switching to Tidal. Can even tell you how I moved my playlists.
If you're a mutual and make the move, let me know please!

Thank you letting me know those were helpful hopes. It is healing for me to hear small things I have offered have been received in the spirit they were given.

Didn't #touchpews at my church but did touch chairs (no pic) at a local retirement home where I led their monthly chapel service.

Been listening to a fake dating romance novel. We are a day away from their scheduled "breakup" day. They are obviously in love.
There are almost 7 hours left in the book.
I am going to DNF the book and rewrite the ending in my head. They are adults who communicate their feelings and get the HEA.

I *do* believe those responsible should be held accountable. But importantly we fundamently disagree who is responsible and me answering yes would be counted as me agreeing with the Senator's worldview.

Also I need to shorten the name of this series...

For the 4th installment in my series on "Congress Members lacking data collection, survey creation, and statistical analysis ethics" we have the very loaded question "Do you believe those responsible should be held accountable?"

It’s funny cause all we do is talk about men’s sexuality? There’s no national rhetoric about women’s needs. This has been true for generations.

Women want to get laid too, they’re just not forcing a political uproar about it.

We actually DON’T need to keep endlessly talking about men wanting sex.

Eric Schmidt
US Senator for Missouri
Dear Sarah,
This week, I joined Newsmax's National Report to discuss my Senate Judiciary hearing on the need to end DEI discrimination. America is founded on the idea that everybody should be treated fairly and should be able to rise on their own merit, not because of some characteristic like your skin color. I will continue to fight to ensure all Missourians are treated equal. 
Poll question:
Do you support protecting Missourians from discrimination?
Yes
No

In my series on "Congress Members lacking data collection, survey creation, and statistical analysis ethics", Senator Schmitt at least lets you know how he is defining "discrimination" before asking a loaded question.
No Senator Schmidt, I do not think Missourians should be protected from DEI.
