Church and state are not separate in America. Change my mind.

I Wish You Enough… At an airport, I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane's departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, "I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy." They kissed good-bye, and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?" I asked. "I am old, and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is her next trip back will be for my funeral," he said. "When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?" He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment, and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them," he continued, and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. "I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough 'Hellos' to get you through the final 'Good-bye.'" He then began to sob and walked away.

Christianity should sound like, “my beliefs compel me to continue growing in my love for others,” not “my beliefs give me the right to control the lives of others.”

@wis10 Learn a few laws and why they matter. For example, jaywalking is illegal because as a driver, I am panicking trying not to hit people when they walk by my car out of nowhere. 😬 It is to keep you safe.

@FatherTim Psych major, religion minor. Now I'm a candidate for ordination in the ELCA (Lutheran church). It was a perfect combo and still serves me today.

My gmail account is almost full and I am overwhelmed by every possible choice for what to do next. Buy more space from now until eternity. Go back thru emails that I have from when you still needed an invite to even have a gmail account. Switch to a new email system. Sigh.

In today's gospel reading, Matthew 4:19-23, Matthew shares with us that God's light shifts from a spotlight on the Jewish people, to a floodlight, a beacon, a light to all nations. 🎤 drop

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires. Words are not enough. Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

I will never understand why schools remove play in an effort to focus on academics when we know that play is one of the very things we need in order to focus on academics.

We have a sacred obligation to care for our veterans, those who risk everything to defend our nation, our values, and everything we hold dear. It's one of the many reasons why I signed into law the PACT Act, expanding access to care and benefits for veterans and their survivors.
