This morning's sermon was about debt and forgiveness.
May those who give offense to the message of forgiveness in Christ by heaping condemnation upon those whom they see as unworthy be reminded of who they really are.
Stop hurting people and start helping.
Matthew 18:21-35

“You haven't had #COVID19? You're lucky!”
My “luck”:
Two concerts, two movies in theaters & one conference in three years (all masked).
I haven't eaten in a reasonably crowded restaurant in three months.
I've worn a mask 100% of the time in airports, planes, transit & retail.
I've eaten outside on 50F/10C evenings to avoid inside dining.
I got every jab as soon as possible.
I've monitored COVID conditions and adjusted behaviors to match.
I canceled one vacation due to a COVID surge.
“LUCK!”

Spent the last several days inadvertently circumnavigating Naatsisʼáán (Navajo Mountain) with my friend Andy and a dozen rolls of 120 film. We passed by Tsé Bitʼaʼí (Shiprock) a couple of times, too. A few digital extras of some of the shots I made are here. I’m developing the film this weekend!

Very good presentation about COVID Vaccine 'conspiracy' posts.
Or, for Randl Munroe fans, the tl;dr version ;)

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.
@tania is he on Mastodon or Post?
Finding another Matt Buxton but it's not him
@AlaskaBecks How many eggs did he have to trade for the chicken? ;)

@seachanger we attended a different church yesterday (friends invited us, they have good music). Except for one elderly lady, we were the only ones wearing masks. No one seemed to mind or react, but it was odd nevertheless.
Happy little clouds ;)
Is the higher one a lenticular cloud?

I generally like to limit posts from the bird site, but in light of the recent gas stove kerfuffle I found this too good not to share:
"...don't need no baggage
You just get on board..."
Happy train ride, Jeff Beck

BTW, here's a little interesting fact. You may have noticed that cameras in the House the last few days are frequently focusing on groups of congresspersons and areas other than the front of the chamber. This is NOT typical. C-SPAN operates the cameras and feeds them out. Normally, House leadership controls where the cameras point, and that is virtually always to the front, avoiding any other areas or groups of persons in the chamber. But with the House leadership in limbo, C-SPAN has full control, and they're wisely making the most of it!
@Wildbergwanderer I went into the office (station) today. A coworker had just returned from the lower 48 with treats, and I thought this was something you could appreciate ;)

In case you're an author (or any other artist) who has ever wondered if your work makes a difference, I thought I'd share this. Our son was sad about having to return to school. He had a lousy day. Now that he's back, he's resumed reading Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens" and has been laughing and enjoying himself. That book is making him happy. That's what art can do. Never stop making art. You may never hear about it, but someone will love it. #Art #Artists #Books #Bookstodon
