A thought, much like this one, has been visiting me too the last couple of days.

Also, dogs are the greatest.

(Thanks for the great post!)

I feel ya, buddy!

Will do!!

Now for something completely different! My dog and her PA are running a virtual Holiday Bazaar. It is imaginative, fanciful and fun. All you have to do that day is look up the hashtag #AnipalHB on Saturday 22 November and follow the fun. We could all use some fun right now. All ages welcome!

Oh, yes.. my goodness, yes!

I just have to say dear reader... that it was SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

finally unveils to us calamity's true form,
then most people turn away,
disillusioned and board,
weary of the monotony
of calamity familiar tune"

A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He is a white male in his late 30s. The picture is from the shoulders up. Bonhoffer has thinning blond hair and wears wireless round glasses. He is wearing a white collared shirt that has the top button undone. He appears to be outside as there is a wire fence and a tree in the background.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:
"Only time decides them.
When the unfathomable thrill
of sudden event
turns to tiresome, tortous duration,
when the day's endlessly dragging hour...

Yep!

A tan, black, gray, and white husky/German Shepard dog giving the camera a side look of "what are you doing sitting there, back to work!" She is sitting infront of a pile of dead plants on a tarp. A little of the backyard fence and BBQ are visible.

Spent the morning at the Project Bonhoeffer UK seminar and now spending the afternoon winterizing the gardens and house. (Snow predicted for Sunday.. small amount) I think the boss wants me back at work! Living that polyphonic life!

Happy belated birthday! I hope you have a great year ahead and thanks for all your great posts!

New Radicals release “You Get What You Give” 27 years ago today — an “exuberant anthem about commodification, urging that kids who have ‘the dreamers’ disease’ have the power to change things,” The Guardian wrote.

Said Gregg Alexander: “It was everything I’d always wanted to say inside five mins.”

Wonderful!!

Applications are always welcome! ;)

I am super lucky. We also have a Jr Research Assistant Clemmy (pictured at the office Christmas lunch last year) and a Visiting Fellow Brees!

(Honestly, cookies and tea are the best part of research!)

Yep, I am Peyton's Aunt Sara.. and very fortunate to be so. Peyton and her PA suggested your account to me to follow as they know how much I love turtles! (And I am so glad they did!)

I have taught Peyton well. She is my senior researcher assistant. Her PA helped edit my dissertation. They both appreciate Bonhoeffer almost as much as I do! ;)

A black and white picture of children, a mix of boys and girls, playing in a back garden. Most of the girls have white dresses on with white bonnets and bows. The girls are sitting, while the boys, dressed in lederhosen and white shirts, are standing behind them. Centre of the photo is one child with his back to the camera wearing a black gown, and he is standing in front of a table mimicing a pastor in front of his flock. The caption from the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Society German Section website states that these are "children playing baptism." Some of the Bonhoeffer children are mixed in with what look like friends or relatives. I don't know if the 'pastor' was Dietrich or not.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:
"He who offers a cup of cold water to the weakest and poorest who bears no honorable name has ministered to Christ himself, and Jesus Christ will be his reward."

-Discipleship 1937

Good to hear you are on the mend!!

You are so very welcome. Thank you for reading!
