I am hoping for fall weather sooner rather than later. It’s been real hot where I am in Tennessee the past month. It’s time to cool things down.

Rest in Power Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton, an icon, a saint and most importantly a storyteller from Tennessee passes away at age 80. This is a very sad day for the world she helped make better. Rest in power Dolly. We will always love you.
It’s Gonna Be A Hot One
There is a heat advisory for today where I live. It’s going to be in the high 90s later on Thursday. I’m grateful to work inside with air conditioning but some have a different reality. Stay cool everyone.
Donation Day At Work
I work for Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank serving 5 states located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Today was a regular employee blood drive and I did my part and donated some red blood cells to help my neighbors. It’s always good to do this. It makes a difference. Donate if you can whenever you can.
Resistance Birds
People have started using their state birds as Rebel Alliance–inspired symbols (from Star Wars) to say, “this is where I am, and I’m not okay with what’s happening.” This is the Mockingbird from Tennessee.
Church On Zoom
Because of the Winter weather threat in the area, my church went on Zoom to have morning prayer. It turned out that the situation was not as serious as it could have been. This was reminiscent of the COVID era when everything was virtual. Thanks to technology, it’s good to have this option when necessary. It keeps some level of routine and connection with the Divine and community. Thanks to Fr. Drew and Deacon Kelly for making this happen this morning.
