Magnificat, for unaccompanied choir, was written for the New York Virtuoso Singers in 2000. It is dedicated to the loving memory of my great-aunt Dorothy McMullin, Sister of Mercy (1904-1999), whose love and joy, kindness and good humor inspired all who knew her.
What's the difference between an evangelical #Christian conservative and a #MAGA 'Christian' conservative?
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, and a toot can only contain 500 characters, consider the reactions of each after it became public that they secretly paid a sex worker that they did 'business' with. #USpol#TrumpTrial
Okay...so...TECHNICALLY this was finished while it was still MY Friday, so I'm posting it today. #PraiseHim#PrayerCloth is cross stitched on the front panel. Outlines that would normally be #Backstitch are #CrossQuilted to make the project double-sided. I should be able to finish the second copy tonight. After that, I'll be correcting errors and posting the proofed pattern to Ko-Fi. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll tell you when free digital & paid printable versions are available.
When you take the lyrics "would he devote that Sacred Head for such a worm as I?" into your very core as a 5-year-old, it takes A LOT to get shut of that unsightly baggage as an adult.
Even "Amazing Grace": "...how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me...."
Really? I was a child. A baby.
A wretch?
Reprobate & miscreant are some of the synonyms. I was to learn those as well.
Was watching random YouTube videos, this weekend. One of them featured Noem's appearance on a news segment trying to defend here statements in her book. Dunno if it was the lighting or if whoever her makeup artist was, they decided to stop working for a puppy-killer, or what, but she did not look good. Said to my wife, "the 'porn actress' style of makeup that seems to be popular among MAGA women probably doesn't work for anyone over 50, let alone Noem." Wife responded that she had noticed how so many MAGA personalities seemed to favor that look.
I mean, it's a look that really doesn't look good on anyone, but caking the makeup on and the harsh contouring and water-ballet blush, shadow and lipstick just is not a good look for a fifty-something in ungenerous studio lighting.

Noem and others are doing makeup in the #StormyDaniels style to appeal to Trump while claiming they’re so #Christian but kill dogs and deny rights to people not like them and proudly displaying their #xenophobia . I don’t know if #irony is the right word for this. I’m just lost for words to describe the cognitive decline of American politics.
I have never, not one time here on fedi, gotten a post across my feed that told me I was stupid or even misguided for not being of a particular religion. It hasn't happened even one time and I looked up hashtags, I follow some Christians apparently. Some Muslims too. Probably other believers I'm sure, and atheists as well.
I have gotten hundreds of posts on my feed saying basically that, just, because I'm not an atheist. They direct their vitriol to anyone who isn't an atheist simply in the words they choose. Look at this very thread for a clear example, go all the way back to the top.
To be fair, most of them came from this one user, they're a particularly immature person. But certainly not all of em.
Just compare hashtags. #Christian vs #atheism vs whatever else you choose. There's ten times as much atheist chatter than there is Christian chatter.
