Connection: How to Have a Relationship with God

Steve Case
Michael A. SheaMichael A. Shea

No surprise that Steve Bannon objected to chief counsel for the J6 Committee, Kristin Amerling, having a loose connection to a book club. Reading? Informed conversation? Friends? All very alien to Steve Bannon. Prosecution rests contempt case against... https://t.co/wM61lHtBHP

Spotlight on America: Civil War

Robert W. Smith
Michael A. SheaMichael A. Shea

I congratulate Robert C. Smith on perfectly preserving himself, staying unchanged thru 200 years of history. He even uses "carpet bagger" as an insult. If he thinks he has a legal claim, he slept thru law school. No surprise- he slept thru the Civil War. https://t.co/lJznCXIczp

Harry Chapin

@MitaliPerkins I would say Harry Chapin- Cat's in the Cradle. Also Taxi. But I would also recommend his Mr. Tanner. A reminder that many people we might never hear about lead lives of quiet beauty. https://t.co/6rnr0YXe9a

Happy 100th birthday, Charles Schulz! A year ago, when I finished putting on a new shed roof, I made it an homage to Snoopy. I discovered this position is actually very uncomfortable, but it always looked like the lap of luxury when drawn by the creator of Peanuts. Great artist. https://t.co/2cMuaAxa7j

I am pretty sure that every Virginia high school student who has read Toni Morrison's Beloved was also aware that you have to be 18 yo to vote and that none of them tried to vote illegally on Tuesday. https://t.co/i3Yi10e78k

Important reading. Thank you to @chashomans for the research. My recommended pairing- Jill Lepore's 2011 book: The Whites of Their Eyes: The Tea Party's Revolution and the Battle over American History. How ‘Stop the Steal’ Captured the American Right https://t.co/wdEnr0JbKw

Huge congratulations to Richmond's Shane Rocheleau for being named a Guggenheim Fellow! I go back often the advice Francie's granma gave her in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (the novel by Betty Smith). Rocheleau's art, and now he presents it, exemplifies that spirit to me. https://t.co/D9qsUSiOsg
