@nmlinguaphile I am so glad I found your X account. It’s important and historically rich, and I love that a picture is included. It brings the story to life. I always wondered about the history of the beautiful Kootenai area.

While fiber is well known as being extremely good for your gut and digestive health, it does far more than that for your body. Eating enough fiber can also:

🟢Lower your risk of diseases, including several types of cancer
🟢Boost heart health
🟢Help maintain healthy cholesterol levels
🟢Keep you feeling fuller longer to control appetite
🟢Support energy levels during the day
🟢Balance blood sugar levels

@TerribleMaps Texas is the right answer, what a total lack of imagination! I didn’t realize that we have been living with such an embarrassing license plate. Pitiful.

@elonmusk I mean, it is wonderful to be able to see it, but I don’t think I want to live there.

Every sheep in the UK has to be shorn for its welfare. There is no choice. Yet the heartbreaking reality is that it often costs more to shear a sheep than the fleece is worth.
So tonnes of beautiful British wool are treated as waste, burned, buried or composted, while we fill our wardrobes with synthetic fibres made from oil that shed microplastics into our rivers and seas.
It feels as though somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten the value of the things nature gives us so generously.
British wool is warm, breathable, biodegradable, renewable and grown every single year by animals already grazing our countryside. It deserves to be treasured, not thrown away.
Perhaps the answer isn’t to produce more. Perhaps it’s to remember what we’ve always had, and start valuing natural materials, skilled craftsmanship and the people who produce them once again.

someone once told me “emotional intelligence is the discipline of sitting with a feeling long enough to understand it before you hand it to someone else” and that honestly changed how i move.

Long before I was ordained a priest, I made a personal rule: I would never preach on a Gospel parable by introducing some other story to explain it. I think I’d heard too many homilists do exactly that.

The parable is the story. Stay with it. What is strange or surprising about it? Where is the judgment? Where is the grace?

A seminary professor of mine, Fr. Damian Akpunonu—then also a member of the International Theological Commission—once unknowingly confirmed my instinct. Before beginning a class on the Book of Exodus, he sighed:

“When you preach at Mass, you are breaking open the Word of God. Do not tell me about the movie you just saw. That’s bs.”

@fmdestekcom It was probably that way before the incident.

@NorwayUS Oh how pretty! Thank you.

@ofcrdeonjoseph Well said!

Since this is a very special weekend I’d like to share something that’s very special to me. This quilt was made by my mother as a gift to me………..because. She asked me beforehand if I’d like to have one and I said, “sure!” She told me the theme and I agreed. Of course it’s patriotic.

She was well into her 70s when she made it. Can’t remember how long it took but each time I checked in on the progress I was astounded.

I’m just spreading it out on the bed so it can be properly shown off. I’ve never used it as anything more than a bedspread, and even then not very often. Can’t describe how I love it.

Ok I have a cool hack for making your 4th of July burgers incredibly juicy. Mix 1/4 tsp. of baking soda with 1 TBS. of water. Make a slurry and mix per pound of ground beef. Thank me later.
