Very talented!!
I love the sign. The motto of our fantasy football team, The Bacardi Broncos, is "We Don't Like You Either."
Heeyyyy!!!
That's wonderful!
Thanks, Rebel. Even though it's resolved, I will still let her know. Thanks again.
A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoeffer smoking a cigarette in a garden. He is a white male in his early 30s with blonde thinning hair and wire rimmed glasses. He is wearing a light coloured sports coat, tie, dress shirt and dark trousers.
For the last couple of months, it seems that I have been very busy doing work for others... today, I got to spend the day working on a project that I'm nervous and excited about.. and it's for me... my work! I need to do this more. Instead of feeling exhausted tonight... I feel energized.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:
"The broken character of the order of peace is expressed in the fact that the peace command by God has two limits, first truth and secondly justice. There can only be community of peace when it does not rest on lies and injustice."

Agreed!
Every morning is a surprise in the worst timeline.
Man, I wish I was closer.. a box full of Bonhoeffer and Merton!! Someone is going to luck out!
Great post by @philinvestigates.com! It really makes clear the theological and intellectual bankruptcy of modern Christian Nationalism.

Good day for this song from a great ๐จ๐ฆ band! ๐๐ป๐ฅฐ๐ถ
youtu.be/6vhSjWdu0FU?...
I think about this song every damn day!
One of my favorite albums. Again, I'm getting old!
*I know I posted that I intended to post this quote yesterday, but it turns out that the older you get, the longer it takes to recover from a weekend in the great winter outdoors!
A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and boys from the confirmation class he taught in 1931. Bonhoeffer is a white male with thinning blond hair and wearing glasses. He is standing at the back of a group of boys that look to be 12-14. They are dressed in sweaters and trousers. They are standing outside and look like they are in the countryside.
Sunday Bonhoeffer:Tuesday edition*
"Recently I took several of them out of the city for two days; tomorrow it's another group's turn. This time together was very enjoyable for us."
25 December 1931 letter from Bonhoeffer to his friend Erwin Sutz about the boys in his confirmation class.
Lol!!! OK.. I'll give you a day.. my kit hasn't dried out yet!!
I can snowshoe and make hotdogs..
A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoffer and a group of young people. They look like they were out for a hike. Bonhoeffer is in a long black coat and hiking socks and boots. The boys around him are wearing hiking socks, shoes, and sweaters. They are sitting by a body of water and look happy!
Sunday Bonhoffer will be postponed till tomorrow. I have spent 3 days on a winter camping excursion with the cadet corps I volunteer with. It was fun and cold.
Investing time in helping and encouraging youth was important to Bonhoeffer, so I think he would be cool with the late post!
Today is a great day!! A new David Gray song was released with the promise of a lot more in March!
Could this day get any better! ๐

I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Excellent thread about reporter Keith Wheeler's near death experience during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Journalists put their lives on the line to bring the public important information from battlefields. The public should know more about these courageous people.
Thank you!
Lol. Let's go with.. we are young as the music makes us feel!
I will!
