@logangilles @Preston_Mann David Beem is awesome.

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@reaganknopp Change in the Senate and in the House. Good idea?

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@anneapplebaum @DavidAFrench Truly, a “let them eat cake” moment. 😢

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@oregonducksmama Every legislative cycle, less freedom.

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@Real_EdDiehl Not surprising. They did the same thing during cap and trade. Democrats, who held the majority in both chambers, didn’t have the votes to move the legislation out of Ways and Means. So changed the committee. 🤷‍♀️ #rigged

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@NancyAFrench @DavidAFrench @kkdumez Exactly my comment. 😞

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@ChristineDrazan @juliefahey Slow clap 👏 👏 👏

Just wow. Fentanyl Kingpin lived in Salem Oregon.

[Oregon Senate Republicans @ORSenateGOP]

If cartels feel safe in Salem, you shouldn’t.

“How much pain was I willing to endure in order to be in less pain?”

I’ve been thinking about this for days. The healing process in all areas - physical, mental, spiritual- can be quite difficult. I’m gonna continue to hold on tight. Worth it.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I’ve had the weirdest 12 months. Racked with increasingly intolerable pain throughout my body and the diminishing of some key physical abilities, I went through a battery of tests. The diagnoses were multifaceted but all of them had teamed up to make life in this physical body increasingly difficult.

As the internist went through pages of results with me, I saw where he’d written in the margin several times “surgery.” Please understand, many people have gone through far worse than what I’m describing to you. But I can’t say this wasn’t a crisis
of sorts for me. Because this became the long and short of it:

How much pain was I willing to endure in order to be in less pain?

Holy cow.

Reminded me a bit of the scene in John 5 where the man long infirmed was asked by Jesus, do you want to get well?

What a question, after all. Who doesn’t want to get well??

But this became the inquiry for me at this rather late date in my life. Do I just do nothing and let nature take its course? How much was I willing to endure to have significant agility restored and to be relieved of some of this pain?

Anyway, I’m a long way from being able to effectively articulate what a strange journey this has been, now several major surgeries in. And simply learning how to stand up straight again and walk without limping. I’m riddled by fresh scars and, for now, the days are really challenging, but this experience with God is one of the most surreal of my life. Yesterday at physical therapy I was able to do something I couldn’t have done 15 years ago. Don’t hear me romanticizing this journey. This is the hardest work I’ve ever done in my life.

But isn’t that the question sometimes, brothers and sisters? Do we want to get well? I mean, if wellness is a real possibility, and restored ability a realistic outcome, would we be willing to endure what it would take?

What would it take to be a healthy person? In any realm, really. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. And would you be willing to work your tail off with God toward a result no one can guarantee? All you would know is that God will be with you?

@SenJeffMerkley You’re on the wrong side on this Senator. As a mother of athletic women, this protects them, not hurts them. Stand up for women.

[Oregon Senate Republicans @ORSenateGOP]

🚨📉 New jobs report: Since Jan. 2020, Oregon added just 1,392 private-sector jobs, while government jobs grew by 17,583. Not surprising—Oregon ranks 48th in business friendliness. Our policies should attract businesses & jobs, not drive them away.

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@ORSenateGOP @CSInstituteOR wow

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@jordan_pape Fascinating study of one of the poorest and uneducated states in the union. Be like Mississippi. https://t.co/Qnq5PeZ0Gd

Carrie Underwood for the win. 🇺🇸 #CarrieUnderwood #Inauguration2025

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@BryanGIverson @reaganknopp It seems like the republican party can be pretty small minded in who they want. That’s part of our problem.

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@MikeCosper Good one

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@BethMooreLPM 💯

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

Watching the debate my bigger question is can President Biden even finish out his term? #alarmed #PresidentialDebate2024

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@ValHoyle Too many people want to dismiss abuse. I appreciate those who stand up for the victim.

[Denyc Boles @DenycBoles]

@ValHoyle Thank you Val.
