Hey everyone I hope you have a great Sunday. I am off to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church for mass where the Episcopal Bishop of East Tennessee is visiting us this morning. Then the rest of the day is pretty much open. Tonight is the Grammy Awards so that should be fun. Grace and peace and love to you all today. Make it awesome in whatever you are doing.

Quote Of The Day
Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game…Branch Rickey of The Brooklyn Dodgers
Spiritual Bullies
I grow weary of spiritual bullies who come from traditions where its OK to beat up on those who are different from them. If we are going to have a kind world it comes from places where we find spiritual direction and comfort and that doesn’t promote that everyone is the enemy who is different from us.
42: A Movie About The Story Of Jackie Robinson of The Brooklyn Dodgers
This movie was partially filmed in my hometown of Chattanooga. It’s about the story of Jackie Robinson who was the first black baseball player to make a Major League roster with the Brooklyn Dodgers (before the relocated to Los Angeles). There was great bravery and progressive vision in making this happen for African Americans at the time. It’s about providing opportunity for everyone no matter race. During this time in history it was OK in many places to be racist and to have animosity toward people of color We need to remember that this is what makes America great.
Mental Health Weekend
I have a 3-day weekend which means I am hoping my mental health will be much improved after. Work has he stressed and every now and then you just need a break. I have been productive today and I will hopefully get things done at home. Self care I hear is important and since I am rarely sick I don’t take many sick days. I am glad to be chilling out today.
