Soundtrack/Backpack

All of the blog posts have a "soundtrack" listed. I firmly believe we feel things more deeply when we associate a thought or experience to a song. I pray the Spirit will use my words and these songs to draw you in deeper into the love and grace of the Triune God!

Some posts have a "backpack" item. Simply, these are books that I would suggest for further reading on a given topic.

It’s been a minute.



Maybe I will get back to my blog.  Maybe I won’t.   



Today this toddler threw a full fist of sand in my face/hair.  (The hair bit is what really stings.)   Neither the child nor the nanny apologized.  I will ponder this event for weeks, probably.  I thought about it at least a dozen times today.  It’s an appropriate response to an unapologetic offense to my person.  

I had a thought today, and FB is the wrong place to criticize your own FB friends.  I made 2 poignant and humerus posts about the Jan. 6 hearing yesterday.  I had one response.  Are you paying attention?! This either means FB is censoring my posts (unlikely) or 1 in a thousand Americans care if we lose our democracy.  

Egregious attacks deserve acknowledgment, empathy, and a strategic plan to prevent recurrence.  

Watch the hearings.  Be a good citizen.  Be a good neighbor.  It is the absolute least you can do. 

Let’s respond to a President’s attempt to overthrow the government with more passion than getting doused with sand.
