Is 13 an unlucky number, or is it lucky?
This blog is very grateful for the regular updates from Josh’s brother, most of which Josh has posted in the comments every day. To say the least, the reports are worrisome, dismaying, upsetting, and dumb-founding all at once. I am certainly thinking of and praying for everyone’s safety under the circumstances: for the innocents, of course, who have been confronted with these evil acts. But also for the warriors reluctantly forced to take up arms to defend their homeland and citizens with their own lives.
Let us pray for the war to end and peace to resume, no matter how tentative.
I’m angry about the companies, university admins, and institutions refusing to condemn Hamas after lecturing us about their pet causes and silly sh*t like microaggressions, cultural appropriation, hurtful words and the like. They need to be humiliated. Here are many examples if needed: https://www.thefp.com/p/tgif-hot-takes-on-hamas-terrorism
So, today it’s raining and chilly, and I will be grooming the dog this afternoon. He’s rolled in something 3 times now!!! I’m hoping a couple of days of rain will have taken care of whatever it is. But, I bathe and clip him about once a month, so it’s that time again. I’d rather be painting.
