I believe in peace (unless it’s professional wrestling). Perhaps those on Team Jesus should set the example of loving thy neighbor as thyself. I hold my prayers and thoughts up for the people of Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, China, and other places and people we are told to hate. I also hold my prayers for places that have faced devastation because of wars they didn’t ask for, like Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Ukraine. I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to believe the world can be better and that people should win the day.
To Those Who Signed My 8th Grade Yearbook
But here’s the plot twist with me… I was never cool to begin with, so there’s that.
Independence Day: A 30-Year Classic
Every Independence Day we watch the 1996 classic movie Independence Day. It’s about an alien invasion a couple of days before America celebrates its Independence Day. The call of humanity to fight back makes the American celebration a more universal occasion. It celebrates 30 years, which is remarkable that I have seen this movie 30 times. The movie visually and technologically holds up well. The storytelling is what makes it timeless. It’s an all-star cast that makes it so special.
It’s Gonna Be A Hot One
There is a heat advisory for today where I live. It’s going to be in the high 90s later on Thursday. I’m grateful to work inside with air conditioning but some have a different reality. Stay cool everyone.
Happy Birthday Dad, I Miss You
Today is my father’s birthday. He is always in my heart. He left us in 2019. Celebrating his birthday was always special. I miss you Dad.
