I found this on Facebook and it’s a meme designed to remind people of a certain generation they are old. I am a member of Generation X and this entire list is aimed primarily at people like me. In a way, it’s OK because it reminds me of a good time when you did stuff on this list and there was less technology involved. If you need an explanation of what some of this is I can help.
Oh, by the way, I have done all of these things.
The church is the church only when it exists for others… not dominating, but helping and serving.

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.
It’s Friday good people. We’ve made it to the end of the week. Have a great day and a great weekend ahead. Peace and love to you all.
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?
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.
