I spend most of my time lost in thought. Or not thought, but daydreams. Not just daytime though, also at night. Dusk included. Wait what were we talking about?

I had never kicked anyone out of church, until last Saturday.
The Pride festival is across the street from our church, & we proudly opened up our building as a way to support the LGBTQIA+ community. It was a fun day with a parade, music, food, and celebrations of love.

I'm gobsmacked by how frequently I encounter people who BOTH:
(A) Think that the Bible is the literal word of God upon which the fate of their eternal soul depends,
AND
(B) Haven't read it.
I could understand one or the other. But both?!‽‽

NEW IDEA: What if we all collectively chipped in, each according to their ability (maybe as a percentage of income and wealth) and with that pooled money we provided services that benefit the public, such as childcare and snowplows?

The phrase “All Are Welcome" is intended as hospitality, but it’s sometimes the opposite. If a wife had a restraining order against her abusive husband, a church shouldn’t allow him to come sit next to her on Sunday morning:

A guy was trolling me about my church's support of BLM & LGBTQIA+ ppl. I offered him a conversation so he called the church. I was calm & cited scripture & science. He yelled "YOU SOUND LIKE AN EFFEMINATE BABY! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU BABY! BABY!!"
So I guess it was a draw?

Sad to learn that Vic Fischer has died.

Born in Berlin in 1924. Raised in Germany & Russia. Moved to AK at 26.
Served in the territorial legislature and state Senate.

Selective Localism is weird. Pro-constitutional-convention ads decry outside money,but they also tend to be pro-Tshibaka& ignore her outside fundraising. "Lifelong Alaskan" is a selling point yet we elect Dan Sullivan. Localism is doubly bad if you only apply it against opponents

One recent snowy morning I arrived at church & was sad to have to wake a homeless man and ask him to move elsewhere, because we had school children coming in. We chatted and I gave him some food. He’s not the cause of homelessness, he’s the victim of it. His name is Albert.
