We will spend the morning working to understand the meaning and practice of forbearance among us. The afternoon will begin a discussion of possible options for IMC policy and practice for credentialing leaders that honors mutual forbearance among us.
"Forbearance" is a beautiful concept, but...
This is to lead into a discussion of credentialing active homosexuals and I have a hard time renaming what Paul calls "degrading passions" or "vile affections" as "sexual minorities".

Please pray.
If only the conservatives practiced more forbearance on things like head covering style or dress pattern and the liberals less on sinful behavior.
I will try to, but I think the only outcome is further splits.

This morning ..
i woke with a “great idea” to address a problem i’ve been wrestling with for a long while.
cold, sunny morning. furnace is operating. nice.
As the hours pass, i’m not so sure.
great ideas are the starting point. then, there’s living them.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.
We sprayed horticultural dormant oil spray on our berry bushes, some shrubs and fruit trees. Temps just right and with these crazy temps things could start budding out soon and then we couldn't spray.
Starting the Chicken coop today. I think I need to start the Chicken riot first before the coop. Or is that for a coup?

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.
I think I am funnier than I really am.

Still need to frame and shingle the roof, cut an access hole, and build nesting boxes. Made out of all scrap wood I had left over from a fence project.
