“The devil’s strategy is not always to provoke, but to darken. He blinds the soul through pleasures, until what is sweet becomes bitter, and what is bitter becomes sweet.”
—St. Bernard of Clairvaux
5 ONE-BREATH PRAYERS FOR OVERWHELMED MOMENTS
1. Be still, my anxious heart. (Psalm 46:10)
2. Not my strength, but Yours. (Philippians 4:13)
3. Christ before me, Christ within me. (St. Patrick's Breastplate)
4. In this chaos, You remain. (Hebrews 13:8)
5. I offer this frustration as incense. (Psalm 141:2)
Sometimes the deepest prayers aren't long, just honest.
I had a crazy dream last night where I teamed up with J.R.R. Tolkien to help a stranded time traveler in the Old West. Then we went to outer space and got caught up in some kind of starship battle against Loki. 😆

Since Manchin is clearly a grifter whose word you cannot rely on, I think Biden should raise the price tag back up on his BBB Framework to the, still too low, 3.5 trillion that he began with. This will be a direct slap-in-the-face to a guy who really has no intention of compromise no matter what, and it would be such a surprising statement that would sow doubt as to whether Biden really does have an alternate plan. BBB is not going anywhere. Manchin is doing the thing that every rich capitalist does when faced with having to serve two (or more) masters: run out the clock while collecting the bucks (and adulation from the corporatists). Maybe Thom can write a column called, “A Personal Appeal to Joe Manchin” or something on the lines of this letter:
