@DeneMiles @KSeattleWeather @weatherchannel Yours are more dramatic but it reminds me of this day at Turnbull NWR.

@ryanburge The congregation where I baptized my children closed recently, and I preached the next to last sermon there. Before that, the congregation I had joined in retirement closed after 110 years and two days. I ended up being the pastor for the last couple of months. It’s hard.

@MelOciraptor71 @NWSSpokane Goulash would keep you warm, but not dry, I'm afraid.

@amandaleggert @jfranz88 @mtfreepress The Tri-Cities are Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. No one lives at Hanford.

@Ginalilvol Spokane - it's spoke-ANN. There is no cane in Spokane. Go Zags!

@NWSSpokane Are the Spokesman Review’s stats for Spokane and Coeur d’Alene correct for 2022? What a contrast they report!

@thedailysusan @ryanburge Having preached in thirty ELCA churches in the past seven years, I have seen many congregations with more ninety-somethings than teens. I'm enthusiastic about Luther Seminary's innovation, but the denomination's trajectory isn't going to change quickly!

@thedailysusan @ryanburge Of the two bodies, the LCMS did probably the deepest study of the decline. https://t.co/mFX3vW1o5J

@JoePrattMaine @RadioFreeTom @KatherineJWu It’s the same here in eastern Washington and north Idaho, sunset is before 4 pm in December on standard time, and in June the sun would rise about a quarter to four in the morning on standard time.

@MaritsaGeorgiou It’s a trade name, a company by that name. We considered them for preschool playgrounds in Yakima and Spokane Valley.
