The world could use more Christians like Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and fewer like Lauren Boebert and Mike Johnson.

Hammer
Conspiracy believing thug convicted of beating an 82 year old man with a hammer just days after a 77 year old man in orange makeup laughed about the attack at a political rally.
A Dangerous Idea
Every illiberal movement and every authoritarian regime is built on the idea that some people are inferior, undesirable, or dangerous, and that those people are undeserving of rights, liberty, security, or self-determination.
Think about how this idea has been applied throughout history. Think about how it enabled societies to dominate, subjugate, and even eliminate large groups of people. Think about how it is being applied today and where that is likely to lead.

Hospital Zone
If I live to be 120, I will never forget what Russia did to the hospitals of Ukraine or what Israel did to the hospitals in Gaza.

Halloween Limerick
At the pub late one Halloween
The barmaid had started to clean
As she bent toward the kegs
She spread her fine legs
And her treats were unveiled to be seen
(It’s so hard to keep a limerick clean)
PS. A friend challenged me to use “Halloween” in a limerick. Thanks to Ken for the inspiration!

Save The Children
Did you know that a serial killer in Houston has killed 20 children in the past two weeks?
Except, it wasn’t 20. It was 2,000.
And it wasn’t Houston. It was Gaza.

Who Pays The Price
Who pays the price
The heaviest price
When the bombs fall
And the rockets fly?
The children
The old
The sick and the poor
The mothers
The sisters
The man at the store
Those who did nothing
To bring on a war
Those who can’t fight
And can’t get away
Those are the ones who pay
They pay with their limbs
They pay with their eyes
They suffer all night
And pay with their lives
It’s always the same
Time after time
The innocents pay the price

By The Numbers
1 thing 2 do 3 times be 4 you 5leep is have 6 in 7 different positions, unless you 8 a heavy meal, in which case walk 9 thousand steps and go to bed before 10.
No Trace
The Earth
Will be here
Long after humans
Disappear
Buildings will crumble
Records will fade
No trace will be left
In a million years
