With ICE and the other henchmen announcing they plan on subjecting churches to their raids, now would be a good time to remember all the apostate Christian leaders that have anointed Trump as their god-sent messiah. They have exchanged the truth for a lie

Isn’t it interesting that many folk who will sing this Sunday about receiving grace they didn’t deserve that was paid for by someone one else will spew hatred on Monday toward people in need of grace that we can pay for because “they don’t deserve it.”

Just had my review of David Ferry’s Some Things I Said published. He was a brilliant poet and translator well worth spending time with his poems and translations.

Just thought I’d mention that the redbuds and wisteria are in bloom down in our little patch of the backcountry. Hope something is blooming out your way and you have enough sense to love the moment!

Today I watched a YouTube ad targeting seniors for a SS enabled card for $3,200. Its opening line was, “By an act of God …” and flashed a pic of Trump. It struck me that there are obviously people that believe that he is for the marketers to construct the ad this way. Unbelievable
