O Lord, our God, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart:

My Livestrong ladies lived up to their title today. I worked them hard in a circuit workout, so I gave them stickers at the end.

@drewdyck I want to like this 900 times. That's so awesome!

My 7 year old left this on my desk. 🥹

Every teacher will recognize themselves in this post.

I don't think they know what explicit teaching means.

@BaronBoehm @JDVance No one every had to do that. But of course, you know that already.

Americans deserve to have their voices heard, and that starts with safe and secure elections. Pass the Save America Act NOW.

@Bc64Rebecca @JDVance We do not know that. There is a miniscule amount of fraud, but that doesn't fit the Trump victim story, so let's not pay attention to the actual data.

@JDVance Who would’ve thought we’d reach a point where we can’t even have fair elections? We know they’re fraudulent. And just as important, we must demand term limits and a Congress that works full-time instead of part-time.

@JDVance Only in this administration does reducing the number of voters count as having "their voices heard."

@drewdyck I love a standing desk. You really want to amp it up, you get a slow treadmill to put under it.

The standing desk arrived but now I'm actually a little nervous. Can I really do this? This must be how people feel before a marathon.

She is now a successful business owner who contributes more to the world than just about anyone I know.

One of the best students I ever taught was profoundly dyslexic. She spent every afternoon in the math lab because if you think reading is hard with dyslexia, try mixing numbers in with the letters. I hope she knows how impressed every teacher was with her grit and talent.

It took needle nosed pliers to pull the old pins out. Then a drill because some of the pins break off rather than come out. Then, a hammer for putting the pins in - all while I am hugging the house from the ladder I don't like standing on.

My shutters came down in the windstorm. I just "put them back up." They are secure enough for now. But if I ever have to do this again, I'm just going to use screws and be done with it. Those plastic pins are just hateful.

@trashyhonky @taipan168 Harming exactly zero people in the process.

@taipan168 These people would still wear a mask on a solo bushwalk in a wilderness area and proudly post a selfie

It is more than four years since the pandemic ended, so I hesitate to let you know that there are people still stuck in it as if today is the 2208th of March, 2020.

@taipan168 I get it, but why does it matter to you if they feel the need to do that? It doesn't harm you in any way.

Anglican's don't play when it comes to singing the verses Baptists and Pentecostals skip. I've been singing this song my whole life, but I definitely don't remember the part about the dungeon.

@tommysantos14 I hope that is true, but I fear it will take decades to recover, especially reuniting with our allies.

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.
