Proud to be in this number!

My husband Rob Rob Flynn is going to see Bianca Del Rio onstage tonight in Glenside without me (I’m out of town) and I’m so envious—or maybe I’m just afraid she’ll steal him!

My tribute to my friend John, who touched so many lives. theChristianCentury ULS

Tried a new/old cocktail this evening: a “Remember the Maine.” A Manhattan that replaces some vermouth with the Danish liqueur Cherry Heering. Delicious. Tho’ the Maine probably did just explode on its own…a couple more of these and I would go down with the ship!

TFW your pet (& husband) get to spend more time with brave than you do…but it was wonderful to have the time we did. Congratulations on your @ULS honorary degree, and thanks for the great speech, Dr @AntheaButler!

Heating points in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The city is frequently left without power because of attacks on critical infrastructure. Together with the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ukraine and Молодежный совет we equipped some of them to give people a place to warm up. #StandWithUkraine️
