Why did I wake up in the middle of the night and imagine Mark Cuban and Pete Buttigieg at the top of the ticket and Kamala as attorney general and Mark Kelly as secretary of defense? Usually I am just dreaming that I win the lottery.

Where is the line you will not cross?

Jesus never tried to draw people to Him. Never tried to evangelize them. He lived His life. He lived helping, healing, comforting, loving people. And they came to Him for how He was living.

I have been on Bluesky for awhile. I left X when it was still called something else. I was looking for a more positive atmosphere, not necessarily hanging in a place where everyone agreed with what was posted. I have found the philosophical content is sometimes close to how I approach life, a rub

So many people express they have nothing to look forward. They say these are sad times. Allow me to share the seven words that give everyone new hope every year: Pitchers and Catchers report on February 12.

Everyone just chill. Let’s keep things positive.

Okay Bluesky, see you Tuesday. Hate from either side is, still hate.

Breaks my heart that, in spite of all the destruction and death, that folks cannot wait for embers to cool to make political statements and blame.

Concentrating on the Red Letters, the words of Jesus, this year. Plus looking at the wisdom in Proverbs. This week: Matthew 5:1-12 and Proverbs. Please join me. What do you see in these verses?

2024, having just moved into a new neighborhood, my verse was John 1:14, where Jesus moved into the neighborhood and hung out with us. I decided to start a home church. 9 neighbors said cool and after two months it was dead. This year my verse is simpler: Love God and Love Others.

Let’s see, no SEC teams and, of course, not Ohio State. So that leaves Penn State because Ohio State in Latin means Notre Dame.

Looks like this will be the hottest January in AZ history.

Looking forward to dedicating 2025 to looking at, among other studies, the words of Jesus. Concentrating on the “Red Letters” with the idea that Jesus meant what He said.

There are at least 17 different holidays celebrated this time of year. There is nothing wrong with your cashier, server, or whoever being inclusive. Spread kindness, not hate. Even the kids understood inclusivity.

Watched my favorite Christmas time(and on my top five all time) movie yesterday. Nobody’s Fool with Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy in her final movie. Love it. If anyone asks you if Bruce Willis was ever in a Christmas movie, say yes and point to this classic. Enjoy the characters and message.

Looking forward to begin a reading plan in 2025, January 13 to exact, that will take us through the words of Jesus. A Red Letter year. Will post the passages each week. Hope to see some comments.

College playoffs. Very simple. Eight 16 team conferences. Eight team divisions. Top two play championship game. Winners go to eight team playoffs. Top seven bowl sites rotate hosting rounds. Others play in other bowls. To ND, you have to be in a conference!

The one with the biggest pen gets to write the history.

In a time such as now, we need the voice and wisdom of Tony Campolo. He died yesterday. So now it is time for everyone of us who was affected by his words and passion to keep his message going and pick up where he has left off. “See Jesus in everyone you meet.”

“One of the most startling discoveries of my life was the realization that the Jesus that I love, the Jesus who died for me on Calvary, that Jesus, is waiting, mystically and wonderfully, in every person I meet. I find Jesus everywhere.” - Tony Campolo (February 25, 1935 - November 19, 2024
