“You don’t age if you stay curious.” — Lin-Manuel Miranda

The USA had a good run. Never thought it would die in the hands of a reality television host, but here we are.

I just watched a bald eagle lay an egg. Wow.

Some are still arguing that mass deportations and tariffs will not cause prices to go up. SMH

“…love has nothing to do with what you’re looking at, and everything to do with who’s looking.” from “Small Great Things: A Novel”

Thankful for ministers across the USA who today declared forgiveness, compassion, and mercy as identifying marks of God’s people.
