Monday Whatevers

December 27, 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

BUT FIRST A BIT OF NEW…

Our Object Lessons podcast is going on hiatus…no worries, it’s only to turn our makeshift “podcast” into a professional operation. This is very good, very true good news! 

In the meantime, every first Friday of the month, I’ll be sharing a conversation that I’ll have with various people about race and faith and books and odd and brilliant things. If you are at all interested in being one of those people, please leave me a note in the comments section. I’ll email you with details. 

Now for this week’s “whatevers” I’d like to share the top most illuminating podcast episodes, I listened to in 2021. 

And, I also want to wish you a very Happy New Year!!!
