Peter’s story was amazing, and indeed defines the reality of Christmas.
Thank you.

It was not a very merry Christmas for him, but it partook of the Joy that C. S. Lewis described so well.
“Joy is the serious business of heaven.”

Remember 2 weeks to flatten…?
Remember 2 million deaths?
The 2 doses of vaccine will beat this virus if enough people take it?”

Ahh, yes: the terrible twos.
Toddlers grow out of them.
Democrats, not so much.

Thank you for reaching out through time and space to lead me to something I needed to read, That, with the Joan Didion piece on feminism that Neo quoted from in a later post today, connected a lot more thoughts in my mind about what’s happening.

I’ve cried a lot today, but I’ve also sung.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

“We were of all races, and all religions: Christian, Muslim, Jewish, animist, Hindu . . . you name it, and the odds were we had at least one member of that faith in our loose network. It didn’t matter to us. If you believed strongly enough in your faith that you were willing to put your life on the line to help those in need, that was all that counted. We were brothers and sisters from that moment. We would worry about the theology later.”

Light house video was neat, wouldn’t watch this normally

Almost. But then you realize what a nasty piece of work Biden is and always has been under that “good old Joe” persona. We are living in very dangerous times when someone so obviously impaired as Biden remains in power.

New addition to “let’s go Brandon!”… is now “I agree!” Truly amazing
