@bj116 1: Almost 23 years.

2: Laugh together a lot.

Bonus: We don’t use the D-word even as a joke. We give no foothold to the idea that this marriage isn’t for keeps.

This is a fascinating series of events I can’t believe I hadn’t heard until today. Would this have slid under the radar for any other president?

1. One of the wilder Trump religion stories over the years is one I feel like no one really paid attention to.

Until ~2020, Trump was Presbyterian — likely PC(USA), which was the affiliation of the church he was raised in. These days, it's a fairly liberal denomination.

So…

Why go to therapy when you can watch Succession and SOB until you can’t breathe?

@micahhjermstad Only by the grace of God and only because we have to. (Hope your little guy is back to 100%)

PLEASE take Covid seriously. We are moving back towards almost 600 US deaths a day, on track for abt 15,000 this month. Deaths jumped about 80% in the last 2 weeks, not inc overdeaths from shear lack of resources. Dems & most journos have given up entirely & Repubs never cared.

Turns out sleeping 1-2 hours per night leads to fun things like forgetting how low to duck when entering a car. Ow.

@alissamarie but instead had a lovely full breakfast with a @BethMooreLPM Bible study and journal. Instead of feeling sad or lost or lonely, it felt like I was brushing the dust off some forgotten parts of myself and getting reacquainted.

[Rachel Gillen @chattyrachel]

@alissamarie I had a tradition of going out for breakfast with my preschool age kid(s) after dropping older siblings off on the first day of school. Went alone on my youngest’s first day of kindergarten prepared to feel sad… (1/2)

It’s a good Sunday to listen to Rich Mullins and weep ❤️

Big red flag: K-12 education lost more than 21,000 workers in September.

Public education remains one of the least recovered industries from the pandemic.

**There are 309,000 fewer teachers and support staff than pre-pandemic**

@sarahcastic I was an obsessive before brain damage info started leaking out after Junior Seau's death. Stayed a casual fan until Kaepernick. Since then I catch a few minutes of the Super Bowl at most. I miss being a big sports fan but don't regret cutting the garbage NFL out of my life.

I’m sorry but in the year of our Lord 2022 there is absolutely no reason any compiled work of theology should have all male authors. None.
