Accepting all sinners no matter the cost
Sharing the love of God to all
The least of these the filthiest ones
Go out to them, share God’s call
Showing to all the forgiveness you know
The filth of your life was your shame
But now you can stand forgiven and clean
All through the power of His name
(5)
Where is the church that understands
Love was the calling of Christ
He did not come to condemn our sins
Instead He willing paid the price
We have been forgiven because of His love
We best should know the cost of His grace
The church should welcome all
Regardless of tongue, tribe, or race
(4 of 5)
The churches are blocked to sinners
“We don’t want people like them”
But if we fail to let them in
How will they hear about Him
“Don’t point your finger in our face
We are the righteous redeemed
If you don’t stand with us get out”
Hypocrisy never noticed it seemed
(3 of 5)
Where is the mercy, where is the grace
Where are the broken who understand
Forgiven much everyone
And given the keys to a new Land
Instead they long for a national pride
Of the carnal land they call home
Demanding that all act like Christ
While they show love to only some
(2 of 5)
The modern church breaks my heart
Love and forgiveness are not found there
Accepting only the perfect elect
Sinners shunned without a care
The pews are filled with little gods
Condemning all who miss their mark
The love of Christ is seen as weak
The future of the church seems stark

America is no longer a country that defends freedom here and around the world. It has become a war nation and is rebranding itself to make it known to all. Is this the first step in Trump’s plan to invade Canada and Greenland?
Getting ready for our winter concert. Not sure if I was bored or inspired. I’ll let you decide.
The worst thing about Trump’s presidency isn’t what we learned about Him (we already knew he was a sleazy, lying, child molesting, convicted felon). The worst thing is what we learned about our friends and family.
American English is messed up. There is one silent K in knight. Only one silent K in knickerbocker. And three silent Ks in Republican.
I just finished unscrewing battery compartments and removing batteries from all of our adaptive musical instruments and toys. As much as these instruments cost, they really need to start making them with rechargeable batteries built in. #specialeducationteacher #music #adaptiveinstruments
As a music special educator, I have to measure growth in different ways. Ex, I have a student that immediately threw any instrument I handed her. By the end of the year she would hold it until I picked them up. Not play, but not throwing either. That is success.
I left the Republican Party in 2016 because of Trump. I should have left far sooner. They have been showing their racism, misogyny, hatred of people that think different or live differently, and their desire for power at the expense of all others for decades now. Please forgive me for my stupidity.
Forget politics for a few minutes and enjoy Switch 2 day.

You know the saying "hurt people hurt people"? He's a hurt person who is hurting our society, making people I care about less safe. The consequences of this one man's midlife crisis are global, and that terrifies me. 5
So what does he do? He bullies and threatens and harasses and trolls and behaves like the weak, scared, insecure child he has always been. That's a tragedy for him, but it's dangerous for us. He doesn't care what he destroys or who he hurts as he chases this existential thing he cannot ever have.4
They are his army of fools, uncritically serving his every whim. And it still isn't enough.
He can have any material thing he wants, and he will never be happy or satisfied.
He has no real friends. Every single person around him is either a viper, a parasite, or both. 3
Some number of them will come after me, as they come after anyone who points at their naked emperor.
They'll spend entire days going after me and people like me, slavishly serving a man who does not even know they exist.
He's the richest man on the planet. You can't go anywhere or do anything without interacting with something he's part of in some way. There are literal millions of people who uncritically worship him, in spite of overwhelming evidence that he's a douchebag. 2
A great day to revisit Wil Wheaton's excellent takedown of Elon Musk from 2022:
I can not fathom the emptiness, the insecurity, the insatiable need for attention and validation, the staggering arrogance, the malevolence and total void of human experience that is Elon Musk. 1
Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.
If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

I wonder if anyone has checked to see just how many of these new executive orders were part of the Project 2025.
Ugh! Now I won’t be buying #Coca-Cola products. Good thing Mountain Dew Baja Blast is available.
Can you guess which one was left overnight in the car during freezing weather?
Walking into admin with a $5000 wishlist of adaptable instruments. I put an order of priority on the instruments, but told them that if I had a budget of about $50k I would probably be set. Always ask for more than you need. #startrek wisdom from Scotty. Right @georgetakei.bsky.social?
Raise your hand if you have ever walked into a room in someone else’s home (or at work) and asked Alexa to turn the lights on. 🙋♂️ Now raise your hand if it took you a few tries to realize why it wasn’t working. 🙋♂️
I got a spam call from the Trump Victory Pac today. Blocked.
I am so proud of my students that participated in a winter concert. This is the first time that this school has ever had a band concert. Band for special needs students looks a little different than Gen Ed. We used boomwhackers, jingle bells, and scarves for our program. #musicteacher
