This display at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee is in support and petitioning for prayers for peace in Ukraine. The country is in need of an end of the conflict that has caused much death and destruction.
Right now, the free world is being led by people who stand up to bullies and to those who are fighting for freedom against tyranny and unprovoked attacks. Also, may I add those not trying to economically damage allies. At this moment in history, it’s not The President of the United States and by extension The United States is in a dark place, and we need someone to see the country through.
The President of the United States is no longer leader of the free world.
The United States is no longer the “good” guys.
People are suffering from self-inflicted pain because of their votes.
The world was safer and better before January 20th than it is now.
Everyone in the USA is going to have it rough because of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Cars, beer, power, and avocados are going to get more expensive.
The Russian Government is negatively influencing everything. The United States is now in league with them and China.
We are all about to go into hard times. Some harder than others.
This list could go on forever, but this is enough hard truths to keep most of us up at night.
I just wanna check in on you all to see how are things? I hope you are all navigating the choppy waters that is life these days. Hang in there.
Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or ‘woke.’ And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.

I have sadly neglected the WordPress reader where I can connect with fellow bloggers. Lately I have been constantly doomscrolling on Threads and BlueSky. Those sites are proving to be a constant stream of bad news. My lack of attention here is something I do regret. Your blogs are important, and I should do better by you this wonderful community of creative authors and thinkers and contemplative writers.
