Good to hear from you Scripter. All is well on the Ohio front. It's a purplish state still. Trump won overwhelmingly in ohio and will again. Vance won with Trump support. Our state, though, is sensitive to media narratives. After Trump, who is his own media outlet, an Obama-type blitz campaign could overwhelm this state. I keep hoping Donald jr takes the helm after his dad.

I'm still pastoring part time at a nondenominational methodist church. They're very independent. There was a solid discussion at Wednesday night bible study about dropping the word methodist... it is a ruined name given the lgbtq+ drag queen UMC. I didn't initiate the conversation.

I imagine they would stay independent of any denomination. Too much baggage, and satan loves to slowly infiltrate hierarchies.

Newsom is talking about another 50 cent gas tax. It’s all he knows.

I’m still in IT and working for a well known company. There aren’t too many people working here at my age! I hope to retire in 4 years. I have a very visible job so my time is precious.
