The church is the church only when it exists for others… not dominating, but helping and serving.

Support Ukraine Now
The United States is not doing its part to support Ukraine as of late. Republicans in charge of the US House of Representatives are the problem. The longer it takes to get supplies to the Ukrainian military the more Russian forces advance and capture more territory making life hard for the citizens of the war-torn country. Other countries are taking the lead and thank goodness. Ukrainians need material support and prayers to get them through this horrible time in their history.
Russian citizens are not the enemy. It’s Putin who is using the military to advance his evil aims. Every day Russians are subject to sanctions and I would think they would rather not be.
Support Ukraine now and in the future.

Is Freedom In America A Real Thing?
I am a white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant from the United States and I am so tired of white, Anglo-Saxon evangelicals telling people what they can do or not do with their own bodies. Also, I grow weary of them making life really, really hard for LGBTQ people who did nothing to bother them. Their brand of morality is intrusive and goes against life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My goodness, no one asked them to get involved in the private lives of others. This is not being a good neighbor in the sense of live and let live. What happened to freedom in America?
Missing Stores Of The Past
For most of us from Gen-X and earlier these stores are iconic and a part of our childhood. I would bring them all back. I have fond memories of these retail establishments. My Missus worked for Toys R Us and my sister worked for K-Mart. Historically, shopping is a communal activity, and browsing the shelves can be fun. Online shopping is so convenient though. Also, streaming video has changed the way we consume entertainment. At some point I predict brick-and-mortar shops will make a comeback like many things have in the past.
Quote Of The Day
The party of swindlers and thieves is putting forward its chief swindler and its chief thief for the presidency. We must vote against him, struggle against him.
