Buttercups blooming.
The tender shoots were unsuspecting when layer upon layer of ice assaulted them. They were shocked but they were strengthened by their ancestors, the hands of the Creator. Light and beauty break through the gloom and cruelty. They are blooming, February 10, 2026.
Thinking of you, Minnesota.
"Deer in the headlines" (not original but can't credit it) is how I see much of our media.
The sec of def just preserved the medals of the perpetrators of the Wounded Knee massacre. The only way to explain this is that he feels that the women and children murdered were not human. I will never understand this cruelty and ignorance.

Me: Hon, can you call my phone, I don't know where I laid it down.
Also me, ten minutes later: Hon, I missed a call from you, what did you want?
Cruelty has become the dominant politics and religion of our time and Christianity has been hijacked to justify it all.

I grieve
I am grieving, and have been for years. In 2010, I had my world shattered with the reality of abuse, and the apparent inability of the Reformed world to address it. I thought it was an anomaly; I thought that my colleagues would love to be trauma-informed and study with me how to better…
Profit and loss
Last summer I was walking through a grocery store and overheard two elderly gentlemen in a discussion. They were talking about the felony convictions of 47. They didn’t doubt he was a criminal felon. They talked about his rapes and they didn't doubt them. They talked about his…
For the last 9 years when I've been accused of "being brainwashed by msm" (hahaha) my reply of "I read the transcripts of what he actually says, you should, too" has been taken away. Another blow against freedom
I'm so sad and sorry.
Wisdom from above is first pure, then peace loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without pretense.
I see you. You are strong and you can do hard things. I've been there. Prayers and hugs.
After a few days away, came home to find these tiny #gnomes in various places all over the house. Nearly 70 so far. Just sharing some #joy if you need some
I've thought about this all day. I don't want you to be right but I know you are. Hatred is the only thing that explains the mess we are in, the continual gratuitous cruelty. And the only thing that can defeat it is love - but how do I love when I am so very angry?
Do they ever try to define what law the Supreme Court (or other courts) is defying or the part of the constitution the SC is getting wrong? Or is this simply going on "feelings" of what they think the law or constitution "should" say? Why does anyone listen with no concrete examples?
You report. You tell the truth. We need more like you. I'm sorry for the exasperation but know that there are many of us who appreciate you and your hard work.
The dissonance is overwhelming most days.
My heart is with the families of these soldiers. My thanks to the President and people of Lithuania for showing this respect and kindness that the US is lacking.
Yeah, the US has proven that it's a good way to beat the system
Who are the people who listen to these people?
Amen. Also, enjoy my across-the-road donkeys. They work hard protecting the spring calves then they rest and prepare for a new day
A favorite for sure
Prayers for healing and strength
It can't be. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up any moment now . . .
