Freeze warning tonight. Saved my wandering dude from certain death by freezing outdoors for certain death from neglect indoors.

No, we really didn’t. Fox in the henhouse. On steroids.

Tell me you never intended to “protect women” without telling me.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Saturday self-care: coffee on the deck at the Bean with my sweet old Rosie mutt.
