The looks on people’s faces when I give them jars of smoked salmon as a gesture of gratitude make me feel like I’m from another world. This is the social currency of my people. I caught that salmon and smoked it myself. It is my love and my labor. 😭

The Christmas card I sent to my older brother got returned to me. He did let my mom know he was alive a few months ago but now we don’t know where he is again. He is an Army veteran who has really struggled since his time in Iraq. I’d appreciate if you’d pray for him.

Prayer has always been hard for me. I’ve been going through some difficult things lately. I told the Lord today that I’m not sure if my prayers matter. Got a FaceTime from this kid to tell me he’s become a Christ-follower. That has been on the top of my prayer list for 5 years.

Just wanna give anybody this permish who needs it: you don’t have to make turkey for Thanksgiving. Even when it’s “done right”, it’s still not that good. It can only do so much; it’s not prime rib. If you’re the only one in your fam who’ll say this out loud, stand your ground.
