Christian shame

The church in general has made plenty of mistakes, and has many reasons to apologise, but apologise for speaking the words of Jesus? I don't think so.

What a hero Bishop Budde is. To stand in front of the newly elected puppet and ask for mercy for the vulnerable. Knowing full well, I imagine, that she would face all sorts of threats, disownings, and challenges as a result.

It's just a shame it was so many 'Christians' who helped put the puppet there. That is to the shame of the church in general.

Onto lighter topics.

"Leave the front gate open when you go out," Husband said.
"Why?"
"Because you keep closing it and the fox can't get in when you close it."

As I mentioned I'm adding chia seeds to my weetabix in the morning. They're fine except for the frog spawn I find in my mouth for some time afterwards.

I asked for a back scratcher for Christmas. I received four. They're wonderful; I have one in each room that I spend time in so there is always one to hand. Even more wonderful now GrandDaughter2 has shown me that they are extendable.

He wants the fox in? That's a change from trying at all costs to keep them out.
I hope Bishop Budde soon appears on Debra's Beautiful Women blog.

Be kind to foxes -I like it.
I though Bishop Budde spoke well. It's a apity the only one in Trump's party taking notice was Mrs Vance.. Melania looked positively venomous.

@ Boud -- Great idea! She's on the lineup list now!

Jesus did not hesitate to speak truth to power and neither did Bishop Budde. Good for her!

Every now and then a voice is raised against the Mendacious Mobster of Mara Laga. Of course, it was just a request that he show common decency, but that is beyond what the maga cult can deal with.

There is a meme floating around the internet that states that obviously the "Christians" and I use that term loosely, certainly do not follow the words of their Biblical leader, and I find that to be infuriating beyond words. Oh, yes, and my back scratcher is one of my favorite possessions. Nothing like a good hard scrubby back scratch to start the day. Gets the blood going.
