I’m returning from a training event in Houston where various Conference leaders of the United Methodist Church met. Y’all, these Bishops are angry, fed-up, and fired up to make the next four+ years OUR time to take the church back for Christ. Saddle up! #BeUMC

Proud to stand with United Methodists in affirming all!

Junipurr’s sister Luna went to doggy daycare today for the first time. Junie is so intrigued watching the pups all playing on the web cam. I think she wishes she’s was there!!!

Just started it this morning!

So thankful…even though it’s been a rough month, and my family mostly is thrilled with the election results, we all gathered around the table and shared our love for each other. It wasn’t contentious in any way and I had a good honest talk with my dad. 🙏🏽🥰

What an uplifting way to start the morning! Thanks Spotify!

I love Brandon Lake’s music!

I love baking…used to want to do it as a career. Now I just do it for fun, for others. Because I have no self control. None. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Aren’t these pretty pear frangipane tartes??? 👩🏼‍🍳🍽️

Lovely! 😍 Making pear frangiapane tartes tonight. Isn’t it wonderful?!

A Morning Prayer from St. Philaret of Moscow (19th c.):

“Lord, grant me the strength to greet the coming day in peace. Bless my dealings with all people. Teach me to act wisely and firmly, without embittering or embarrassing others. Give me physical strength to bear the labors of this day. Amen.”

The quote from Vonnegut reads: "No matter how corrupt, greedy, and healed our govt, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."
