We're just a few days into what will be a long four years.
Removing the immigrants is horrid enough, but not nearly as bad as giving the January 6 rioters pardons.
Kick out the immigrants, take away the Constitutional guaranteed 'birthright citizenship' and free the criminals, some of whom caused death in their attack on the Capital.
Only 2 of 10 Americans approve of the Capital rioters pardons.
Many more than that voted for the current President.
Are they regretting that now?
I pray so....
The President doesn't seem to realize that everyone it this country came from somewhere else.
Bern is Italian/Hungarian and her parents came here a dozen years before she was born.
My Americanism is longer, but my family came from England and Wales and Sweden.
We exist as a nation because we came from somewhere else.
His plan to remove migrants is against who we are.
Just that.
No more.
Just that....
It snowed last night as predicted, but not as much as the weather people expected.
Three, maybe four inches. But it was so cold that once it fell, it froze, so it was hard to move.
Today was sunny but about 15 degrees.
It was a white, white, white day.
Today is Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Day. We owe him so much. He tried to bring justice and equality to the world. God bless him.
It was also Inauguration Day for the wrong person.
I fear him.
Justice and equality aren't on his agenda.
God help us....
Today was the Annual Meeting at Trinity, where I serve part-time.
I've always hated Annual Meetings--too much talk, takes too long, not much happens.
Today wasn't as bad at most.
Reports in writing. Moved along well. Took under and hour.
Not so bad as most.
I wish Annual Meetings were on line....
To be honest, I don't think 'wine' and 'wisdom' are related.
But I drink Pinot Grigio every night. It's the only thing I drink.
I'm not so wise, but I am smart.
My IQ was always about 155.
I do well on on-line tests.
But I am afraid of the next 4 years under Trump.
So afraid.
And not to wise.
More wine than usual, I suspect, to get to 2029--if I live that long.
Shalom. Have a glass of wine....
At Bible Study today, it bothered some that when Mary told Jesus the wedding in Cana was out of wine, that he called her "woman".
My Bible foot note said it was, in the first century, a term of 'affection and respect".
That gave me the idea for my sermon Sunday.
We will see.
We will see....
There has been a full moon the last few nights.
I can see it out the window where I'm sitting.
And it will begin to wane now.
Waxing and waning are interesting words.
But it is 10 degrees outside.
Very cold.
I love a full moon and hate the cold.
That's just me.
