I feel like there’s an opportunity here…what other sports could we synchronize besides diving and swimming? Synchronized home runs in baseball? Twin wide receivers catching passes from twin qbs? Kick it up a notch, folks. #olympicthots

Steve Kornacki is my new favorite Olympic media personality because I now know that in 2016 the US women alone got the same number of gold medals as the closest entire country. #IDontEvenLikeMath

I think we can all agree that the real heroes are the folks waving and cheering on the athletes in this parade. #Endurance #DeepOlympicThoughts

I can't tell you how much I love the Olympics. #IMissBobCostas #EswatiniIsANewOneToMe #YouCantHaveTwoPeopleCarryAFlagGracefully #DeepOlympicThoughts

Hello, World. As I’m prepping to teach “Administration for Ministry” this fall at GCTS I’d love to hear from my friends in ministry what you would have found valuable in a class like this had you taken it! #AdminCanBeFun #WorkSmarterNotHarder #ILoveMyTextbooks

@forewordpodcast @TEDS Dr. Roy always made me stop and tell him how I was actually doing. He always listened very carefully and thoughtfully.

Happy first day of meteorological spring, y’all! #FeelsLike25degrees

@klh_sanders Can we still be friends if I maintain that McDonald’s coffee is pure hog swill?

How delightful to come across a word that can’t possibly be real, yet OED says it is. May I be the first to wish you a frabjous day.

[Jana Holiday @janaholiday]

Well. Look what just came out!

19 years ago I worriedly and repeatedly tried to call home from Germany to find out if my Dad’s section of the Pentagon had been hit. His was the adjoining one. I think I’ll give him a call tonight too. #Grateful

[Jana Holiday @janaholiday]

...It simultaneously feels like a week and a decade has gone by! I’m so grateful for the privilege of this work and the community I have the joy of being part of! #TrialByPandemic #IStillThinkNewEnglandIsALittleWeird #DoingWhatImCalledToDoIsAmazing

One year ago on my way into my first day of work at GCTS I passed a gaggle of wild turkeys on this lawn—having never encountered them in the great outdoors I didn’t know if I should take that as a portent of doom or blessing. What a year this has been!...

I was half way through the cup of decaf I just made (never you fear, I had regular at 7am) when I knew that wouldn’t cut it. (I’m an optimist.) Thankfully I had an emergency Via from Starbucks and I just sprinkled some magic powder into my good intention. #saved

How long do you think it will take for putting on a mask to become second nature? Keys...check. Phone...check. Mask.... #IForgotTwiceTodayAlready #NewNormalIsStillNew

Such a wonderful reflection.

Grieving the unexpected death of my husband and father of our four children was already hard. Then the quarantine began

I remember when I used to not cry at the evening news. I also remember when I used to not watch the evening news because we weren’t in a pandemic. #GoodOldDays #HappyAndSadCries #HealthcareHeroes

Is it possible the empty store shelves are because we Kondo-ed our homes and that repressed dread of not having our stuff around us is manifesting in abnormal purchases? “256 rolls of tp, 8 boxes of chia squeeze and 24 cans of steel cut oatmeal will spark joy.”
