Sometimes adequate Jesus lover. Former teller of bad jokes and tortured analogies (youth pastor). Love God. Love people. That’s the best we can do.
I did not have tearing up to @flavorflav.bsky.social talking about promoting women's sports during my commute on my bingo card today. Thank you Good Game with @sarahspain.com

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Lutherans when riled:
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

West Wing S1EP5 "Was David Rosen your first choice for my job?" is why I never liked the military shuttle leak story line. Toby was absolutely devoted to Bartlet. There was an unshakable level of trust between them, even after the MS revelation. I still cannot fathom Toby betraying the president.

That means God everywhere, at all times, in every place. In our bodies and every body. In all our barrenness, fearsome deserts, and waste-howling wildernesses. Real ones. The ones we create.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church.
They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

Really wanted the Mariners to end the drought and capture a pennant. Bummed for them and their diehard fans.

I told my son the game was cursed and would never end. It would just be the skeletons of Mariners and Tigers endlessly playing twenty years from now.
My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

Wow. What a game. I'm a Tigers fan, but I can't even be mad. They escaped from multiple no escape situations in that game, and the Mariners are just a good team. I freaking love baseball.

I really wish Detroit wasn't playing Seattle right now. My lifelong Tigers fandom is running up hard against my interest in seeing the Mariners finally reach the World Series.

My guess is she lost the players a long time ago, but the fact that it is spilling out into public spearheaded by one of the WNBA’s most high profile players and leaders, does not bode well for Englebert’s future with the league. From @alexaphilippou.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Every post high school path is valid and worthy.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

““What would Jesus do?”
kind of assumes Jesus stayed in the tomb.
A better – admittedly less catchy – question is “What IS Jesus DOING and how am I invited to participate?””
