    Why do you feel grateful on the 4th of July?

    I am grateful for having been born in a country of freedoms, justice, and opportunities. But, I feel like this isn't that country anymore, and 'm not feeling very proud of it right now. I decided not to fly my flag this July 4th, and I don't know when I will feel like it again. But, I hope to.

    The One Big Beautiful Bill Passes U.S. Congress,

    I find rather sad what we have chosen to spend our tax dollars on and what we haven't. I see nothing to celebrate here.

    Karoline Leavitt accuses CNN of 'encouraging violence' against agents for reports on new ICE tracking app

    I venture to say more police officers have been harmed in the line of duty than the record shows of ICE agents being harmed. The purpose of the app is not to bring harm to ICE agents but to avoid harm for persons hiding from them. Google maps can tell us where the state trooper is, our scanner...

    So .gov can track our movements in public, but we can't track theirs? Got it.

    Thoughts on Confirmation

    In on own situation, I became Anglican later in life after decades in another mainline Protestant denomination that was less traditional, liturgical, and sacramental. Confirmation in The Episcopal Church was unnecessary to me for my worship practice or my participation in the parish. In fact, I...

    It is always an interesting question: "What are the magic words that could make you give up your heterosexual attraction?"

    Virginia's ban on LGBT ‘conversion' talk therapy for minors struck down

    No, I stated most minors are in therapy because someone else thought they needed to be. At some point they have to acquire some buy it that maybe it can help them. If they never get there, one is only trying to coerce them into someone else's hope for them.

    Virginia's ban on LGBT ‘conversion' talk therapy for minors struck down

    In my experience, most minors enter therapy because someone else thinks they need it, not because they think they do. And, therein lies the problem where gay conversion "therapy" becomes coercive. Never mind that its efficacy is not support by data or that most professional organizations...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    This thread reminds me of the old joke about a recently departed person arriving in heaven only to be advised to tip-toe quietly past certain rooms in heaven because those inside believe those of their expression of Christianity are the only ones there. Let us hope we are more ecumenical and...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    This is one of the things we share in common. I can say the same thing. :) My congregation added 42 new members in the last year! Don't count us out yet. The Anglican expression of Christianity is alive and well in some places even with its flaws, which I think all Christian expressions have...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    I wish we did a better job of recognizing our commonality and embracing each other as fellow believers instead of criticizing others over differences. The simple solution is if you disagree with someone else's belief or affiliation, worship elsewhere. There are a lot of good things about CF. Our...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Yeah, because everyone knows 14-year-olds wouldn't lie about something as important as that or slip Daddy's credit card from his wallet while he is sleeping. And, lucky that no one has ever tried using a fake ID before. Won't happen. I guess tender teenage minds are safe, now. :cool:
