David Johnston @dljohnston.bsky.social · 16/07/2026It is still the language of familial intimacy with the Creator of the heavens and the earth, which Christ has opened to us through the abundance of his life! But it's not "daddy", for which I am thankful 050

David Johnston @dljohnston.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I can confirm that the only thing perhaps passably appalchian on here is peach cobblers. Maybe if hillbilly loaf is meatloaf? Beans yes, but with fried potatoes and greens. What it needs: hot dogs with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions 041
