Facing Divisive Issues Without Dividing the Body of Christ
This work is based, in large part, on the work of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Richmond, VA, as they sought to discern God's will regarding their response to the LGBTQ community.
I pray that this process might help other congregations as they deal with this and other divisive issues.

Pan-(Prefix)
A combining form meaning "all", used in the formation of compound words, particularly those that identify collections of all places in a region, cultures within a group, or religions.
demic(Adjective)
Of or pertaining to a distinct population of people
So, "pandemic" means "all populations of people."
Our president is plugging the idea that China intentionally exposed this virus to the rest of the world. That would be a little like the medieval practice of throwing bodies infected with the bubonic plague over your enemy's city wall.
Now that 45 is a lame duck president, I'm praying that "all populations of people" will see that the majority of voting Americans do not approve of his rhetoric.

Recently I decided to let Google "monetize" my blog. Monetize is apparently the newest term for advertise - Letting Google put itsy, bitsy ads in the margin of my blog. I get to check a little box that says no adult material, so I felt fairly comfortable. Besides, I could earn 2 or 3 dollars (literally).

My dear, sweet Boudreaux had to go to Vegas last week for a business conference - and I DO mean had. Poor thing really doesn't enjoy it very much. He's the sort who'd like to actually learn something if he's going to a class. A teacher's dream.

Well, well, well. Here it is - the end of January, and I've published nothing. Nuh-theeeng. Why? Because nuh-thieeeng has been worth talking about. I've had a migraine headache for three weeks. That's right. You heard me. Thuh-reeeee weeeeeks. At least it's gotten to the "off and on" stage. Right now it's "on".

I joined Weight Watchers last Wednesday. That's right. Three days before Christmas, I decide to get serious about losing weight.

Hubby and I drove around this evening looking at Christmas lights. We went through some mighty swanky neighborhoods with pit-tee-full Christmas lights. Seems to me that, if you're wealthy enough to live in "Windsor-on-the-James" you should be required to fork out a little cash for holiday decorations. Seriously. Even if you're Jewish, Hanukkah is the "festival of light". Correct?
