Lover of soul deep Christianity. Loather of Christian Nationalism. Husband, dad, and grandpa. I write scary stuff. I am owned by a Dachshund named Ollie and a Torbie named Maylie. No DMs.
I’m tickled that the birds choose my patio as a place to congregate. Sweet birdsong trumps nasty social media any day of the week.

Two cups of coffee, fed the dog, fed the cat, fed the wild birds, played MapTap and didn’t humiliate myself. All in all it’s a good start to the day.

In record numbers, the Conservative American Church is consistently and surely making Atheists—or at the very least, it is making former Christians; people who no longer consider organized religion an option because the Jesus they recognize is absent.

The Exodus From Christianity Has Been Caused by Christians
Growing up in the Church, I was taught that the worst thing one could be was a non-believer; that nothing was as tragic as a doomed soul that condemned itself by rejecting God.

Jesus is the exact opposite direction of all things MAGA.
To follow the MAGA movement is to reject Christ Himself as you embrace the ways of a corrupt worldly empire.

My dachshund, Oliver, was lying on the patio this morning when this naive young squirrel came up trying to lie down with him. There was a moment when their eyes met and no one moved. Then hijinks ensued.

Any time I see anything about the military birthday parade, somewhere in the back of my head a historically-inaccurate Roman gladiator growls,
"The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end... Highness."

Just read a post from an old friend on FB where he shared a Fox News link on Elon Musk and said this is exactly what he wanted when he voted for Trump. Sigh. Turns out the only person blinder than him is me. I’m the fool who believed people would stand up for each other. Turns out I was wrong.
