“Be ours a religion which, like sunshine, goes everywhere; its temple all space; its shrine the good heart; its creed all truth; its ritual works of love.” - Rev. Theodore Parker

We rewarded ourselves for exercising today. And hey there are little signs of Spring if you pay attention!

May we remember we are a people of resilience
We have been consumed by flames
We have risen like the phoenix from the ASHES.
And we will again…

May we remember our shared humanity
Our universal kinship; our interdependence
Breathing in love and breathing out peace. - Rev. Sara LaWall

Drag music bingo for date night? Absolutely.

It doubles as a fundraiser for the LGBT Center of Harrisburg? Even better!

We need to use the powers to imagine and to believe if we are going to create a better future. These skills are more important than ever in times of crisis. Featuring a performance by the UCH Bell Choir. Join us on Sunday!

We had Aida and Gideon’s IEP meeting this morning. If you’re an occupational therapist, physical therapist, or a speech therapist, I just want to say how deeply grateful I am for you. All four of our children work with incredible therapists. Thanks for making the world a better place. <3

It was a glow golf and ice cream kinda day.

Drawing on Booker T. Washington’s famous "Cast down your bucket" imagery, this sermon emphasizes that anti-racism and social justice work do not require searching afar but must begin with the needs immediately surrounding us.

We finally managed to do another walk! It was very slippery and a bit frigid, but movement felt great.

Renee and I just picked out her 9th-grade classes. She’s taking journalism, engineering, choir, and multiple honors courses. That child is brilliant. She impresses me constantly.

It’s gorgeous today. 😍

Survived all of my testing at the hospital today. I’d love to never see that place again. Bleh 🤢

That’s so exciting! Congratulations. The world needs more pagan clergy :)

It was a freezing, but still beautiful.

With a family of six hot baths are rare. So how do Spencer and I treat ourselves to one? Well… we get creative. 🤣

As of yesterday I am free from the EEG! My hair still has chunks of glue in it, but my head is free! No more hospital until next week. Everything else got rescheduled and I’m thrilled.

Today’s chilly walk!

She’s beautiful! 😍

Spencer and I had a wonderful time cruising. We had such a great adventure. Here’s to 15 more years of marriage! 🥳

RIP to Unitarian Universalist Betty Reid Soskin, aged 104, who made great use of all of her years - including working to create the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park to honor the wartime efforts of women & black Americans, & serving as a ranger there from age 85-101.

Merry Winter Solstice! Today we attended the solstice service at church, opened stockings and gifts, enjoyed a big feast, and ended the day watching the Nate Bargatze Christmas special. Here are a few pictures!

15 years ago, Spencer and I got married. We were children. We were totally unprepared for what building a life on our own would require. It took years of hard work to carve out the life we share today. I am deeply thankful for the way our love has matured. What we have now is enduring and unshakable

We visted Stone Gables Estate tonight to look at the lights! It was beautiful.

Look who stopped by earlier! It was a magical surprise for the kids.

Tonight we did some cookie decorating with a wonderful couple from church. It wouldn’t be Christmas without frosted cookies.
