It takes a special kind of callousness to steal a Surlyβ€”they had to hack their way through decades of good vibes, ignoring the resounding echoes of winsome laughter and pure joy to lay hands on that most sacred of beasts. Mourn freely, my friend.

As a hospice chaplain, I work with people who dieβ€”it’s inherent to the work itself. What I find intriguing is the relationship one forms with death and dying, which can, strangely enough, be described as a profound mundanity.

β€œICE field offices have been told to meet a quota of 75 arrests per day, according to two sources, paving the way to surpassing the number of daily arrests in the past year.”

Are there really that many criminals for every field office, every day?

β€œExcellence honors God and inspires people.”
