“Christianity is a Symphony…and we need our beautiful diversity.”

Don’t forget to share some goodness with others-a smile, a thank you, or a thousand other gestures that tell others you care-that you see them-it means so much.

We never know what others are going through-so be kind today.

Being “Christian” is much more than just following the rules of my “tribe”-it is a humble willingness to see Christ and be Christ-and to follow Him wherever He leads.

I don’t have to thump you over the head, or lay a guilt trip on you, or convert you.

I can simply love you and be your friend.

Happy Monday-internet connectivity issues at my job today. That’s always fun-

But, an opportunity to practice acceptance.

Friends-been busy with work, but also writing and reading, and reevaluating how I use social media-for those who do the Christian practice of Lent-fasting can be very eye-opening and soul opening.

So, I have been way cutting down my media consumption-less news podcasts, dropping things in my feed that I feel focus too much on all the negativity in our current political climate. (No disrespect-I love politics-and we do need to stay informed. )

I love to read/see folks just sharing their day-to-day, Snoopy cartoons, beautiful landscapes, etc. So, I am doing some weeding-still want my Mets/NY Giants news!

This is something I need to do for me-as I work on OCD issues, other healing matters, and cutting distractions to my creative work.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend all-if you can-get outside-breathe some fresh air-and put your phone down, for a few minutes. We all have to take a break from the craziness-

Taken from a wonderful App: “Lectio 365”, I pray for whoever needs to hear this- “May your wilderness wandering come to an end, and you find your home in God.”

And may that home not be in rituals or formulas, or “religious-politics”, but the True God-whose arms are always out-stretched to you!

Been so busy with work-have not been posting much-but been following along.

To all who observe-Happy Ash Wednesday!

May your Lenten journey bring you a deeper sense of God, and make you more loving to yourself and others.

The world needs that-

[Christmas Eve] is more Christmas than Christmas Day itself because it holds the full energy of Advent.

“What society sees and calls monumental, God sees through and calls monstrous.”

(If that isn’t a word for our politics in the USA-I don’t know what is. )

Happy Sunday, my Mastodon peeps-today at church I learned about being “bread” for others.

Put another way: How do you help a situation? Can you smile, say something nice, or be empathetic?

For you more religious folks: How can you be Christ to others?

Happy Saturday, everyone! Sunny in the beautiful Hudson Valley in NY of the USA.

It’s been a tough week in politics-for some of us.

I refuse to let the Orange Guy get me down-and I am not giving up on our country or our democracy.
