Tonight I did something I haven’t done in years.
I unplugged the phone.

Dear Internet: You are weird
One of the most fascinating things about having a blog is seeing what it is that brings people here. The other day a *really* strange search term popped up in our list of “why people come to KellyandGeoff.com.”
It was just too weird. So, in honor of the truly strange corners of the internet (and The Bloggess who had this idea first), I’ve gone back through the list and picked out some of the strangest, funniest, most terrifying and sometimes offensive search terms that brought you people to this blog. Granted, since I’m writing about them it’ll probably bring more of you here, but that’s OK. What is that they say about any publicity being good publicity? Yeah, that. I think.
A lesson in contrasts
I think it is safe to say that the march of human rights has made steady though inconsistent progress over the last 100+ years. In the last 48 hours some interesting stories have popped up that have reminded me not only of how far we’ve come but also of how far we have to go.

Time to clear off the phone
There are too many random photos on my phone. So I’m inflicting them on you, internets.
Yes, this is the kind of random stuff I take photos of with my phone. You’re welcome.

It ends today… hopefully
The phone calls, the emails, the voice mails, the robo-calls, the text messages. The door knocking, inevitably when I’m in the bathroom or sleeping. The door hangers or giant post it notes left when I’m not home or literature illegally stuffed through the mail slot. At 8:00pm tonight, for good or ill, it is done.
Election day is over.

Work without ceasing
This is a passage from 1 Thessalonians I’ve always liked. (NSRV). I’ve tweaked it a little to reflect our current circumstances.
Rejoice always, 17 pray work without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit.
