Today my husband and I were walking by the Christmas section in Target & he had the AUDACITY to say that we already had a lot of Christmas decorations at home. That is not how the Target Christmas section works. The decorations choose us, not the other way around.

Crying right now. Colorado Springs hasn't had a non-republican mayor since 1997. "It’s a new day in our beloved city...Colorado Springs will be become an inclusive, culturally rich, economically prosperous, safe and vibrant city.” So proud to be a @yemiformayor voter.

Cole arrived on Friday, December 15th at 6:22 am, weighing 5 lbs, 8 oz and measuring 19 in long. He surprised us by making his entrance 12 days early (we’re thinking he didn’t want to miss Christmas). (1/3)

Saw this drink called “mom water” at the liquor store yesterday and I feel like it’s kind of problematic. It feels like names like this normalize and even promote using alcohol as a way to cope with daily life. I’ve been seeing a lot of products marketed like this lately.

The minimum age for Olympic figure skating needs to be raised to 18. I’m no expert, but what the Russian team is making teenage girls go through isn’t right or healthy for them. So much toxicity has come to light with the Olympics recently that I’ve been less interested in it.

@gcnewsman My mom is a Christian. My dad allowed her to start taking us to church when I was in middle school (as long as she let him talk to us about his opinions too). It was a confusing childhood, but I always felt led to Jesus and Christianity even before I was allowed to learn more.

@jivebot I think it has to do with a false idea of what it means to trust God...that if you trust God you don't need it. But in my view as a Christian, God gave us the scientists who were able to create a vaccine and we should use our God given wisdom to take it.

@ethanjweiss I was homeschooled. I don’t think all homeschool environments are unhealthy, but I think what I experienced felt a bit cult-ish sometimes. As a kid, I felt responsible for trying to promote a good image of homeschooling to the world. I felt like I couldn’t say anything negative.

@sheilagregoire They didn’t say it outright, but it was implied through having no female ministers, elders, or communion leaders. Occasionally women would get up & make an announcement or discuss a mission trip they went on in front of the church but that was about it. This was Church of Christ.

One of my goals for 2020 had been to find a church. Covid changed that. It was a lonely, tough year to be in between churches. We didn't have a community that we could meet with outside, or even online. My prayer is that next Easter, we will have a church to go to. 🙏
