I sense that CNN/MSNBC are quite disappointed that there wasn’t a bunch of violent terrorists attacking the capital today. Because they believe their viewers wanted that to happen. And I think that they are right. And that is almost as terrifying as if there had been violence.😢

What is a movie that you have seen only once, but you loved and can’t figure out why you haven’t watched again?! My answer: In America (2002) There is a line I will never forget. “I’m even in love with your ANGER! I’M IN LOVE WITH ANYTHING THAT LIVES!!!”❤️

Reminder: Texas is attempting to repeal the Indian Child Welfare Act so they can forcefully remove Indigenous children from their families and place them in "good Christian homes". And it's not getting the national attention it deserves. nativenewsonline.net/currents/petit…

Isn’t it awesome that things change! My wife and I had friends at seminary who were from Korea. One time, they wanted me to eat Kimchi. Even though I was trying to be polite, I was noticeably gagging the whole time. 14 years later and it is one of my fav foods. 🤷‍♂️

People who call Trump an “illegitimate President“ aren’t that much diff from people who argue that Trump lost due to voter fraud. The only diff is political party. It seems to me that both arguments push an anti-democratic agenda that undermines trust in our electoral system.

A parishioner of mine was telling about how, when she was a newborn baby, the doctor told her parents that she probably wouldn’t survive because of how sick she was. There was only one thing he could offer. An experimental drug that was brand new at the time: Penicillin. 😁

This is exactly why I have been so upset for years.

I see tweets about how ONLY 516 children have died of Covid. I hope these aren’t the same people who want Biden to resign because of the 13 military who died leaving Afghanistan. And I will bet that none of those 516 were their children. If we CAN protect a child, why not?

I am at peace. Blessed with a great job, wonderful wife and family. Thankful for my relationship with God. But I still feel pretty darn sad a lot. General feeling of malaise. Not posting for pity. I have support. Just thought I would share so others might not feel so alone. ❤️

My wife always teases me that I am reading the same books as the teenage girls I teach. 🤣 Which of these is your favorite Young Adult book series?

I don’t think this is true about everyone on the Left. But there is definitely some real truth here.

My kids have said just about the same thing. 🤣

Do you remember during the Dem primaries when Andrew Yang would talk about the Flu epidemic of 1918 because life expectancy had last gone down way back then? We have now had more people die in America from Covid than Americans that died from the flu in 1918. 😢

I have been rereading The Hunger Games. How the Capitol turns the districts against each other rather against the system that enslaves them all. How the tributes fight against each other forgetting who the real enemy is. Remind you of anything? #NotLeftNotRightForward

Remembering the Lewinsky scandal reminds me that feminists of the 90’s were just as hypocritical around issues of sexual assault by Pres. Clinton as Evangelical Christians are around sexual assault by Pres. Trump.

My son and I came up with the following songs on the same theme. Which is your favorite and can you think of another one?

It’s sad that so many complain that they just can’t see anything redeemable on the Right. Does anyone ever consider that many Republicans feel the same about those on the Left? Most people are kind imo and not caricatures of your worst imaginations.

My daughter came home for the weekend and told us she had written about nine Slam poems that she might use for an open mic night. My wife wondered why she had so many enemies? Why she was so mad? Apparently, my wife thought Slam poetry was about putting other people down. 🤣

I don’t think it’s fair that I always get called immature when I laugh at the name of “Dick’s” sporting goods store. I mean, if there was a “Pussy’s” fabric store, don’t tell me that I would be laughing alone. 🤣 #doublestandards

Last time I took a Twitter break, some people got worried so I felt I should say something this time. I am happier off the platform. I am not deleting my account. Might come back sometime in the future. Thanks for your friendships and love of #Humanityfirst God bless you!
