This was a service that made a real difference in communities, targeting it for defunding does not make us great.

We received notice from the CDC that our funding for Care-A-Van has been terminated, effective March 24, 2025. As a result of this unexpected decision, we must immediately suspend Care-A-Van operations. Thank you to all of our requestors and community partners for your support.

My deepest apologies to Ukraine. My deepest, heartfelt, devastated apologies to you all. I cannot believe what our nation has become under this wretched man. May God forgive us, and may He come to the aid of the people of Ukraine. Gracious Lord, have mercy.

Dear Manager:

1. Tumble out of bed
2. Stumble to the kitchen
3. Pour myself a cup of ambition
4. Yawn & stretch
5. Try to come to life

Is this composure??
For real though, once again you have given us the good word.

Now would be a good time for Cher to turn back time.

Beach and bubbles, this is my preferred 2025 vibe, until reality crashes the party.

“a stranger among my own people…”
Yup, same.

The reality is that for many of us, who are from a traditional, religious, culturally conservative background, the world has irrevocably changed from 2016 until now. The things we thought were solid turned out to be but shifting sands.
I feel like a stranger among my own people, most of the time.

Dear TV writers: Could we please retire the frightened-person-running-thru-the-woods-and-inevitably-tripping scene? You could put it in the TV-scene half of fame and just bring it out for lifetime achievement awards every 50 years and we’d be good.

This is what I’m finding hard to overcome, a mourning over what could have been.

0/10 for the increasing number of p*rn bots in these blue skies. Immediate block.

Well that’s New Year’s Eve done. Went on the early end to an open house party and now back home in jammies waiting for NY to ring it in. Since it’s PNW dark already might as well call it a day!

Without downloading any new pictures, what is your energy going into 2025?

Ready or not, here comes Christmas…

A starry sky background with white text that reads: Winter Solstice Did you know that the first day of winter is when the days stop getting shorter and your hemisphere begins to climb toward light and life again? So exactly the moment when winter begins it also begins to end. Just when things feel the bleakest is when they can turn around at any moment Or, to put it another way as my dear friend Laura says, “Hopelessly lost and nearly found feel exactly the same.” Hold on.

2/2 Or as Rob Temple writes in Born to be Mild, “… if you simply forget about them and your past, surely you run a strong risk of remaining a tosser?”

1/2 Thank you, great article. I see Paul as one who had deep regret over persecuting the church, his mention of it in 1 Cor. 15 reads that way to me, even as he fully embraced the grace & forgiveness of God.

Rachel! Way to own it girl! Fun season.

G would be my choice for congregational, and works for the musicians as well, no capo required.

Mountain ‘bout to disappear.

“Because of our God’s merciful compassion, the dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭78‬-‭79‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The “way of peace” is the way of Christ.

Central Oregon rocks! Don’t live there either (WA is home) but visit as often as I can.
