Spending the day before Thanksgiving at the DMV and trying to find the deeper spiritual meaning/- like, imagine Purgatory: “Just 20,000 more years, 100 days and 10 hours! Almost there!” 😅👏👍🕺

The master liked to test his son-in-law’s problem-solving skills by posing hypothetical questions: “How would you achieve peace in the Caucasus? How would you deal with a troublesome courtesan? How would you build a wall, or, let’s say, dispose of a body?”—#TolstoysTalesofTrump

Eventually she undertook an itinerant ministry “traveling up and down the land” delivering God’s judgment against slavery, and for women’s rights. She continued to struggle for freedom and equality until the day she died on November 26, 1883, at the age of eighty-six.

Irish monk St Kevin was praying with outstretched arms when a blackbird landed in his palm and constructed a nest. He held his hand outstretched until the hatchlings flew off. An apt metaphor for the vocation of an editor @OrbisBooks and writing about sts for @GiveUsThisDayLP
