A quiet foggy morning the day after Christmas #Maine

Weather forecasting is, above all else, about safety…

Amazing Northern Lights from #Maine last night. #Auroraborealis

Not sure what the #DEI fuss is about. I worked with women, men originally from outside of U.S.: India, Israel, Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, UK, Canada… I am richer for learning from others who differ from me. These have been my colleagues. Some became very dear friends.

Fact check. Be rooted in reality.

Do not travel to Western North Carolina. Emergency vehicles and rescue crews need access for emergency purposes. #ncwx

Definition of “evil”: actions expressed through a complete lack of empathy If at least partially accurate, then to change that, we need to intentionally nurture empathy throughout our circles of influence #empathy

Just started “Intercultural Ministry” edited by Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Jann Aldredge-Clanton. It’s going to be good! “The more interracial and intercultural a congregation can become, the more possibility there is of building the reign of God here on earth.”

Jesus lived in a society whose survival depended on weather and growing seasons. Yet he said: Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things (what you eat, drink, wear) will be given to you.

One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt

I am offended by Trump. But I’m even more offended by the Christians who support him. He just called an entire group of people garbage. And that is an insult to God. Every person from Somalia is a precious child of God, made in the image of God. God does not make trash. No
