Welp - the NFL games on Netflix was unimpressive. 🫀 I feel sorry for the people who paid for a subscription just to watch them…

Merry Christmas all! I’ve been MIA lately, recovering from surgery (cancer). Grateful for many things this year, but today I focus on the miracle of the Incarnation, God with us, He is who has come and will come again. Have a very blessed Christmas Day. β€οΈπŸ’š

Advent is almost upon us. There is much to lament in our world, such weariness of soul. Let us, even as we lament, or rather because we lament, prepare our hearts for the Blessed Hope of Christ. Let our souls rest in this hope. He has come…He is coming again…Selah. And Amen.

Yes!

My favorite Chicago photographer is on Bluesky!!! πŸ’™

Breaking News: Matt Gaetz, President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, said he was withdrawing from consideration for the role. Follow live updates.

What are five topics you could talk about for 30 minutes straight? - Weather - Football - The political idolatry of the American Church - 80s music - Theology

I feel this deeply... "After Mr. Trump was elected, Oinetta Kambui, 52...hopped on a phone call with her sisters. They all agreed: Many Black women β€œjust want to be literally left alone to tend to our own communities,” she said." www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/w...

I love the level of interaction here. πŸ’œ

I am so prayerful that this space can be an oasis of hope and encouragement. @karenswallowprior.bsky.social gave me great food for thought this morning re: echo chambers. I am hopeful that does not happen here.

Truth...
