I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

It reminds me of a person I listened to every day that was also silenced, but not by Merrick Garland and Biden/Harris but by death, Lou Dobbs. It’s ironic that Lou was once silenced by Fox as well. We know this tyrannical authoritarianism is nothing n…
Thanks DD for thinking of me. I’ve been playing catch up at work, trying to keep up with the rising prices of everything. Sometimes I get frustrated when I put what I think is a good thoughtful post and everyone around me gets liked except for my post. Not sure if it’s me over analyzing things but it’s constant.
