I honestly don't know. Are these people in more dire straits than people from the south of the U.S.? Could someone who knows give an unbiased reason why this is a joyful welcome and others do not receive that privilege?

Life as Sacrament. It is a special key to unlock the door to wonder! “The body is a sacrament. The old, traditional definition of sacrament captures this beautifully. A sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace.” John O’Donohue, Anam Cara

I saw this headline this morning: "Despite market tumult, Trump says ‘we’re making a fortune with tariffs’" Question: Who is included in the word "we're?" I feel significantly excluded, as does my portfolio. 🙄

Economist Paul Krugman made a quip on the Ezra Klein Podcast regarding recent U.S. global Tariffs: “In the movie ‘Terminator 7,’ it would be: Actually, Skynet doesn’t bother starting a nuclear war — it just gives bad tariff advice.”

"WITCH HUNT" - every time I hear it now (from anyone) it's a signal. I just know you're deflecting, refusing to deal seriously with a moral failure in your life, or administration.

This made me laugh after last night's Gonzaga v. Georgia game: Ernie Johnson, whose alma mater is Georgia: "Since 2003, Georgia with zero wins in the (NCAA) Tournament, Gonzaga with 39 wins..." Charles Barkley: "Maybe ya'll can play them in football and we can get this thing handled."

Another section of my book, "A Church for the World." Though this one is partially behind the paywall, you can check out a part of it to get a taste of where I am going. I hope you do. Also, my Substack has a ton of non-paywall content. I invite you to look around and give some feedback.

I have heard this over and over about the Federal government: DOGE is working to identify and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. Who is keeping DOGE from waste, fraud, and abuse? Where is the accountability?
