Today Is Black Friday, A Big Shopping Day

Leave a comment

Today is Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It has been traditionally a fight to the death for the best deals and bargains. There is fun to see what people have been able to get at the stores. With Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the like, Black Friday seems to have lost a little of its popularity.

But there is nothing like getting out and fighting crowds for some instant gratification. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase to get what they want. I hope the odds were ever in your favor if you went out this morning.

Two Things I Know

Leave a comment

1. American history is complex, messy, and not always a feel-good story. Lots of bloodshed and violence.

2. Christianity is complex, messy, and not always a feel good story. Lots of bloodshed and violence.

I think we need to be real that neither institution is absent of conflict and pain and heartache. I am still a Christian because I know Jesus is worth following. Likewise, I am still American for various reasons.

Transgender Day Of Remembrance – November 20

Leave a comment

Transgender Day of Remembrance, is observed annually from its inception on November 20, 1999, to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.

As a CIS gender white male, I choose to remember the injustice and violence against people who are seeking the universal values of life, liberty and happiness. I have never been the victim of violence of a transgender person. My life has been enriched by knowing transgender people.

They are often scapegoats of problems that they are not the cause of. Too many transgender people have lost their lives. It’s not right, they should be treated like fellow human beings who desire to live authentically in their own bodies free from fear.

November is Native American Heritage Month

1 Comment

In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.

It’s Time To Fall Back To Standard Time

On Sun, Nov 2, 2025 don’t forget to set your clocks back to standard time. I hate moving the clocks back and forward, but in this case “gaining an extra hour of sleep” is not a bad thing.
