Wishing my “little” boy a happy 16th birthday!

When you take your #mastiffs to get groomed and one 💩 in the car before you even leave the parking lot!

Andy every other day, too!

Optional?

This is the behavior of a kindergartner who’s upset that he has to go bed earlier than his friends!

I thought that it was illegal for law enforcement to cover their faces?

Maybe this should be my sermon this Sunday! 🤔

Do something radical - smile at someone that you don’t even know!

So we can figure out how to keep phones out of schools, but not guns?

Wanting to do something, but don’t know what? Meet your neighbors, talk to them, discover their hopes/fears, eat dinner together, and don’t let anyone trample their rights!

Thought I’d check my former social media profile and was quickly reminded why I’m rarely on that platform!

When it’s too hot to use the oven why not bake it on the grill? Apricot crisp with walnuts and bourbon!

Didn’t get a pic, but thanks to the sons for their help we made mom a fantastic lunch - hot smoked salmon w/ all the toppings, baked baby sweet potatoes, and grilled Caesar salad! Most things were from scratch including the dressing and smoking the salmon. Delish!

An up close look at an orange bird taking a shit in your cereal!

Remember that power seeks to keep the powerless separated and fighting amongst themselves so that they are too busy to notice what the ones in power are doing!

It’s interesting how strict biblical literalists are until they hear Jesus’ words and then it’s an emphatic, “but in that time it meant…”

Got applauded by a toddler for picking my nose…thinking that might be a highlight for this week!

I think a lot depends on when in his life people are referring to. IMO, we would be at a 1930 in NYC version where he begins to see the equality of all people.

This is great! So happy to see the church using what it has to help people. Family Promise is also a great organization!

Glad to see a friendly face in a new place!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Might have to ask around and see what I can find out.

It was the “break sticks of macaroni” that got my attention. I prefer a mix of béchamel and shredded cheese in mine, but would give this a try.

Not a fan of tariffs but if it reduces the neighborhood pyrotechnics on NYE…

When you want on the couch but your sister’s butt makes you have squishy face.

#mastiffs

I’m in California not NY, but you can use my house for a show if you like dogs

We made these using zest for a Christmas party and they were a hit!

This is great! I meant if there is a network of faith communities doing this?

@cayimby.bsky.social

Are there conversations about how faith communities can use their undeveloped properties to help with the housing shortage - especially affordable housing?

Is there one that includes the Anabaptist denominations?
