The best sermon is the one you live.
I preached this morning. But my real sermon happened across Texas this week, as our campaign collected 20,000 pounds of groceries for our neighbors.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

That's a big kick in the guts.
Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k.
Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k).
Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
