Thought Of The Day 01102024

The current Republican majority in Congress is a fully owned subsidiary of Donald Trump. They did nothing in two years except whitewash the events of January 6th among other horrible things. I so wish that Donald Trump would go away because he is a liar and a vile person. Donald Trump has messed up America for the worse. To hell with him and his lot. congress

My missus posted this on Facebook. I am at that age where I am older than some people and younger than others. Aging is funny. This is life for everyone.

The Baptism Of Our Lord

The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, or Theophany, is the feast day commemorating the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Originally the baptism of Christ was celebrated on Epiphany, which commemorates the coming of the Magi, the baptism of Christ, and the wedding at Cana.

I was baptized when I was 11 and it’s something that has sustained me spiritually all the days after. It’s something that has formed me to be the person I am today. Granted, I am not a perfect follower of Jesus but I hope I do my best.
