"...maybe what we can do is to pray for the conversion of our anxiety. Because...when anxiety is converted, you know what it becomes? it becomes hope." @Sarcasticluther #mentalhealth You can subscribe to/read her newsletter here - HIGHLY recommend:

Create in me a clean heart, O God. And renew a right spirit within me. Because the joy I felt about today’s news felt good for a minute but only in the way that peeing my pants feels warm for a minute. And now it’s cold and smells bad and I’m embarrassed. #TrumpHasCovid

Our grocery workers are absorbing everyones's anxiety, God. Protect them from us. Our elderly are even more isolated God. Comfort them. We haven’t don’t this before and we are scared, God. I don’t even know what else to pray for. Amen. 3/3 For what or whom are you praying?

Our pastors are doing the best they can, God. Help them to know it is enough. Our workers are jobless, God. Grant us the collective will to take care of them. Our fellow parents are losing their minds, God. Bring unexpected play and joy and dance parties to all in need. 2/3

God who made us all, Our healers are exhausted, God. Give rest to those who care for the sick. Our children are bored, God. Grant extra creativity to their caregviners. Our friends are lonely, God. Help us to reach out. 1/3

It will get better. We don't yet know how much worse it will get before then, but it will get better

This makes me feel like I just got a package from Dolly Parton personally

11. Self-fulfilling Prophecy: “their evil makes it permissible for us to act in a hostile way towards them and vice versa” How do we protect the vulnerable, and fight for the common good without turning on ourselves? How do we do the right thing and speak the truth? #struggle

Well, it finally happened, just as Abbott & Costello predicted....

Today Alfred University honored me with a 25 years of service award. 🕰 Also known as the “I didn’t take my ball and go home” award. #keephanginginthere

One of the great joys in life is home made biscuits warm out of the oven with real butter.

450,000 lbs of supplies donated by yinzers for #PuertoRico. Unbelievable, yet such a #Pittsburgh thing to do. I love this city, so much.
