Not a great score, a bogey. But, it was good enough to beat the #OldGal who lost her streak today!!!
During the 1933 Prussian Synod Dietrich Bonhoeffer offered multiple theses to challenge the “Aryan Paragraph.” The “German Christians” were those aligning with the Nazi party, “We,” was the nascent Confessing Church.

The #OldGal also scored a 4 today. I have seen some threes from the #YoungPups already. Also? Cool word Wordle.
Good morning! May you choose to respond with joy on whatever circumstance you find yourself in today. #MorningMug #Discipline2025

Another timely thought from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in response to the 1933 “Aryan Paragraph.”

Here’s the second of the theses that Bonhoeffer penned to challenge the Aryan Paragraph in 1933. Again, it reads as very timely for our moment in history.

The #OldGal scored a 5 today. Victory is ours. Perhaps diminishing returns on grandson babysitting?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer composed a number of talking points to refute what was known as the “Aryan Paragraph” in September of 1933. The paragraph excluded non-Aryans from civil service which was beginning to be adopted by German churches.

![The German Christians say: The church is not allowed to undo or to disregard God’s orders, and race is one of them, so the church must be racially constituted. We answer: The given order of race is misjudged just as little as that of gender, status in society, etc. . . . In the church, a Jew is still a Jew, a Gentile a Gentile, a man a man, a capitalist a capitalist, etc., etc. But God calls and gathers them all together into one people, the people of God, the church, and they all belong to it in the same way, one with another. The church is not a community of people who are all the same but precisely one of people foreign to one another who are called by God’s Word. The people of God is an order over and above all other orders. “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? . . . whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother” [Matt. 12:48, 50]. Race and blood are one order among those who enter into the church, but it must never become a criterion for belonging to the church; the only criterion is the Word of God and faith.

How do you know who someone is? I don’t mean who they say they are, but who they really are? How do you determine it?
I think we do so by watching the way a person acts. As my friend, Todd, likes to say, “acta non verba (actions not words).”

Hey @Mtt, werid thing happening on danielmrose.com, if I try to customize Sumo or Bayou, they only show one item in a category. I’m quite confident it is user error. But, I can’t quite seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Join us for an intentional conversation about, “forgiveness,” at the Tap Room in Ypsilanti, MI.
Is forgiveness necessary for us to thrive? Are there people that unforgiveable? Is there good in carrying grudges?
We will start with these questions and see where the conversation takes us!
There are four rules…
- Everyone respects one another.
- Everyone talks.
- There has to be a moderator.
- We end at 9 pm.

The #OldGal also scored a 4 today. Perhaps a #YoungPup will post a 3!
If you pray for God to protect the persecuted Church and rejoice at the federal government shutting down refugee resettlement, then I would encourage you to ask yourself if you truly care for the persecuted church.

The #OldGal scores a 3 today and I am just happy to keep my streak. The time spent with her grandson is beginning to recharge her! We are in trouble #YoungPups.
