Every now and again, I look through the "on this day..." feature on the Failbook. It is a weakness. But I do this.

It reminds me that, two years ago, in a conservative university town in middle Tennessee, I went to a church that was willing to put this on a billboard.

That church no longer exists.There are many reasons. But there is also the very real sense it couldn't shake a certain reputation in the community, and I get very sad over that. https://mastodon.social/media/kFJQqBHrB1k8fo84sUI
