I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Dog People For Kamala

As the dad of a dog, I am all-in for Vice President Kamala Harris for President of The United States of America. If my dog could vote he would vote for Kamala too because dogs know what’s up.

Quote Of The Day

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re goin’ through

David Bowie from the song “Changes”

Quote Of The Day

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Describing Me

Daily writing prompt
How would you describe yourself to someone?

Physically I am like a teddy bear. You could say fluffy and pudgy. Intellectually, I hope people would think I know stuff but not in an arrogant way. Spiritually I am a person in tune with my creator and all that. Emotionally I am stable with a little looney thrown in. I tend to be quieter than in years past, but I let my freak flag fly when appropriate. My personality is one of weirdness and I am an oddball. Very much a black sheep. Mentally I am the place where I think I can deal with stuff that comes my way. I am kind, compassionate, and sensitive too. People I think aren’t so sure about me. Strange, right?

Feedback welcome.

The Olympics Last Supper Thing

This Last Supper outrage is stupid. First, it’s not the Last Supper, it’s something else. Also, Jesus is more concerned about how his children treat one another and how we care for creation. Get mad about kids going hungry, clean water, violence, and hate. Ultimately it’s just an artist’s imagination that tells the story of Jesus and his bros having dinner for one final time at a table where everyone sitting on just one side. Just saying.
