We all have stuff to process and trying to be kind and open-hearted at the same time is admirable and noble. Be good, good people.
I support law enforcement. However, some police officers have no business wearing the uniform and carrying a gun. Better screening, better recruitment, and better training are needed. Also better pay to attract the best people who will become officers. Too many instances of what happened to Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, and others are happening. Police officers are to serve and protect or so I thought. Something must change. Change should have happened a long time ago.
Life is very expensive right now.
To all who have had a bad day, month, and even a year I feel for you, for us. Hang in there.
My church hosted a seminar on the environment and faith; the two should be closely linked. Being a good steward of the gifts of mother Earth is the right thing to do.
It requires using our hearts, minds, and spirit to do something for this creation of nature we have been given. It’s essential to do things such as recycling, conserving energy (yes I am not always good at that), and extending the life of the things I use to make life easier.
As a believer, I am glad to do these things because it’s a way of showing how much I want this planet to be there for future generations. Love your neighbor as yourself extends to being concerned for the environment. Caring for creation is a statement of faith.

Delicious quiche with some delicious fancy coffee from Sunnyside Cup, a local coffee spot that’s on the way to work. Good stuff for a Tuesday morning.
