This happened in Montana earlier today.
I was on my way to a job interview when I got pulled over by a police officer. Just to set the scene—I’m Native American, and my friend riding with me is Black.

Blessed Holy Thursday to each of you!
Our littles still have trouble making it through the Holy Thursday liturgy, so we turn our living room into a garden to keep vigil with the Lord at home.
