That 3 “conservative justices” would vote to overturn 158 years of precedent on birthright citizenship leads me to strongly consider intimidation, bribery, or mental health issues plague this Supreme Court. God help us!

Thankful to see Birthright Citizenship remain the law of the land in the United States of America and for Honorable Miria Matembe to be found alive in Uganda. I will continue to pray and labor for justice for nations, family, and friends where God calls me to serve. God have mercy!

Watching a prairie storm come in is an exercise in holy fear and love. The awesome power is impossible to ignore. It is so captivating I watch until the last possible moment before hurrying for shelter. Our Creator is worthy of worship

One benefit to rural living in North Dakota is being in a walkable neighborhood. In the fall I can easily walk to the local organic meat market. In the spring I can walk to the local organic flower shop. In the summer I can walk to the local organic produce market. I am very thankful to live here

At my aunt Audrey’s funeral I quoted Proverbs 12:10, “The righteous care for the needs of their animals while the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.” Our extended family thanked God that we have been nurtured by generations of women who rescue feral cats 🐈‍⬛

All parents want their children to do better in life than than themselves. By God’s grace I have held onto my physical strength longer than most men. Last week my son, Timothy who weighs 60 pounds less than I began lifting more weights than I with his legs. He has defeated me! Well done 👍 sir!

Yep - Thank you Michelle. Silence and ignoring our neighbors is not neutral open.substack.com/pub/michelle...

In 6 days our Rwandan Community in North Dakota will host our Kwibuka 32 - Commemoration of the Genocide Against the Tutsi. There are many reasons to attend. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” We can argue about the parallels… but the echoes of the past are everywhere”
