Today is #1Epiphany and the #FeastOfTheBaptism. This is one of four days we renew our #BaptismalVows. The #BaptismalCovenant has a series of questions that include questions about resisting evil, seeking and serving Christ in all persons, and striving for justice.

My sermon today ended with: “If we are to resist evil, will we stand against the rise of white nationalism and white supremacy now running rampant? If we are to seek and serve Christ in all persons, will we welcome the stranger, alien, and people of color? If we are to strive for justice, will we speak out against arrests, detainments, and killings of innocent people.”

After service, one person heading out the door said, “You need to stop preaching politics.”

#RuriRocks re “Snacks” and this is a direct quote of the translated Nagi’s Respite eyecatch screen: ““Emergency food supply for when you can’t leave the desk. “Best Before” isn’t the same as “expires on,” so it’s fine.”

Per network tv exec/spokesperson...

"All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule."

🤔 🤣

More interesting shows canceled, or have been... with replacements not so good.

So... wife cooked an actual ham and then slow cooked first ever pea soup. Dinner last night. Yum!

But this morning I find this sealed packet on the counter. "Ham flavor". #Ummm we had an actual ham. This packet came with the ham.

We had an actual ham.

I'm pretty sure we had an actual ham. Bones too.

I'm pretty tired of the word: regime -- being tossed around.

Just because one party is in/out - doesn't mean either one fits the word.

Constant usage only weakens its impact.

It's like we are now some 3rd world country.

#Oh
