We are strongest when we see the most vulnerable in our society, bear witness to their struggles, and then work to create systems to make it better.

Winning And Losing In Politics
You win some and you lose some. That is how life goes. Accepting losses is a statement of character and gives one the driving force to try again. When it involves power and politics then it’s a whole new ball game where some who lose shouldn’t try again.
Those who lose in the game of politics should have some grace about them and realize that when it’s over, it’s over. The people have the say in winning and losing in this case. It’s OK to lose and if you do it well people will respect you for giving it your best.
Maybe some folks need to realize that it’s not about wheeling and dealing your way into winning because it doesn’t work like that. It’s time to move forward and to prepare for a new chapter in the lives of people who have suffered so much.
It’s time to let go of the past and embrace the new things to come on January 20, 2021.
Reasons For Watching Church Online #episcopal
As a church-going type person, I have sat through many digital worship services in these days of COVID19. Currently, my parish is meeting outdoors in-person to keep people connected yet safe. YouTube and Zoom have been instrumental in keeping many churches going and offering their parishioners the Word and Sacraments.
This graphic is a humorous take on watching church online. I do like the no parking, coffee, and relaxing in my pajamas but I would never ever mute my priest. He’s pretty good at sermonizing and that sort of thing.
No matter how you practice your faith I hope you have found a way to stay connected and to receive blessings from your spiritual community.
The First Rule Of 2021
The first rule of 2021 is don’t discuss 2020 and this is a legit statement. No one needs to hear about what happened last year or something like that. Hope for a brighter tomorrow.
My Last Post Of 2020
Good People,
This is the last post of 2020. It has been quite the year and we all have struggled in one way or another. Some how we made it throughout the year and I feel lucky having done so. Whatever comes our way in the future lets be supportive and kind. My friends, may we have peace in the coming year.
Also, wear your masks, we still have a pandemic out there.
Your Friend,
Tony
New Years Eve, Sending 2020 Into History
My friends, it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s time we said farewell to 2020. In what has been a horrible year we can look forward to a new one that I hope will be better all around for everyone. Of course, it’s a clean slate and we can all be grateful for that. Peace to you all and peace on Earth.
For some 2021 has already come and we wish you, good people, a Happy New Year!
