Monday Whatevers
December 13, 2021
Hello, Friend!
It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us.
Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.
Blessings,
Marcie
’Tis the season for whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent and worthy of praise—but also tis’ the season for joy, merriment, festivity and laughter. For my Monday Whatevers during this Christmastide season, I am sharing cheery snippets of such warmth and delight. This week, I’m sharing clips from some of my families favorite classic Christmas movies.
This is our last Monday Whatever for 2021. But we’ll be back in the new year on Monday, January 3, 2022!!! Thank you for joining me here and making this bible study such a blessing and a community that keeps growing.
Cheers!

I watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms on Disney+ last night after that peek of Misty Copeland's dancing here. She and it were amazing! 💚❤💚
Dear Marcie Avis-Walker & BEBS family - gushing praise for this space, actual sources of researcheable joy and true things, and distinct studies of particulars, and yes the feedback and opportunities for response. Christmas has been a little hard to get excited about and I have discovered here in bountiful opportunity, my own reasons to make merry and I am grateful to God for this healing opportunity, which feeling is also something I am proud to share with you all as I make mends with parts of faith through this community. In my family of origen we used to sometimes listen to readings of Dickens Christmas Carol this time of year. Last year my most joyful memory was a friend participating in a roller skate dance Christmas sweater challenge on instagram and asking me to help vote for them. I will share the link if I can find it again!
