Looking for reasons to get out of bed today. Go:

Walking into Mass I hear … folk group. With a piano. And a flute. And drums. This is gonna be a looooong service. #catholicgirl #birdsbelongoutside #notNOLA

Yesterday I went out to the car to get my bag of NOLA groceries. I offered to leave the door open. “(Sigh) No.” But it took a minute. #birdsbelongoutside #nopetbirds #notNOLA #fatherdaughter #BIRDSTORY

Seeking advice on dealing with indoor birds that spend a lot of time out of their cages. Gumbo not an option. #nopetbirds #birdsbelongoutside #birds #gumbo

@bigmoneygrip I know, right? But they’re so straight-faced that I don’t think they do.

[Pape François – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266_fr]

Dieu ne nous aime pas avec des mots mais avec des actes; non pas "d'en haut", de loin, mais "de près", dans notre chair, parce qu'en Marie le Verbe s'est fait chair, parce que dans le sein du Christ un cœur de chair continue à battre, à palpiter pour chacun de nous !

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

God does not love us in word but in deed; not from “on high”, from far away, but “up close”, from within our flesh, because in Mary, the Word was made flesh, because in Christ's chest a heart of flesh continues to beat, it beats for each and every of us!

I have never liked my name. Which has made life rather awkward.

Phones should have a feature for blocking outgoing texts and calls after, say, 10 pm on a Saturday night.

Today, a new economy inspired by Francis of Assisi can and must become an economy of friendship with the earth and an economy of peace. It is a question of transforming an economy that kills into an economy of life, in all its aspects. #EconomyOfFrancesco

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The plant paradigm takes a different approach to earth and environment. Plants cooperate with all the surroundings environment; even when they compete, they cooperate for the good of the ecosystem. Let’s learn from the meekness of plants! #EconomyOfFrancesco #TimeOfCreation

@bigmoneygrip Actually, those sound pretty typical. But, oh, wait, could that comment be viewed as disparaging the company? lol

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Our models of consumption and production, and our lifestyles, must respect creation and the integral human development of all peoples. Let us renew the covenant between human beings and the environment, a mirror reflecting the creative love of God. #TimeofCreation

Being broke is super expensive. Bank fees eat up all your money, then you don’t get to use your money but you still need money. Vicious circle. The only winners are the banks. Which have money already. #money #richgetricher

What’s a synonym for “unique”?

Dealing with MS Edge is like being taken hostage. Can’t escape. Can’t close the program. Change the default browser to MS Edge. Don’t you want to? Everything will be better. Resistance is futile. #Microsoftedge #browser #Microsofthostage
