Are we not what we consistently love? I love: Christie + 4 Starfleet cadets, UMC pastoring, sci-fi, words, hosting meals & tending bar, Middle-earth, theology, Rice Owls, baseball (go Astros!), making music, all things British. Jesus. Coffee.

My wife (who doesn’t skeet but you can find her on FB) & I are celebrating 21 years of marriage today! I love having our anniversary so close to Christmas (even as a clergy couple!)—I am always expecting something wonderful in my life thanks to our grace-filled marriage. Happy anniversary, Christie!

The 'Jesus Christ Superstar' film isn't just an adaptation of a musical. It's a meta-commentary on the very act of retelling the Passion. Prepare for a rewatch.

Temple College Jazz Festival has Sean Jones as its featured performer today, & he’s supposed to be having class with the high schoolers but really he’s preaching.
“Development requires *a lot* of honesty, with yourself.”
Great music, and then there’s the wisdom.

Hi.
If you’re a religious organization that uses federal funds to do your work, but are now frozen out of using those funds, feel free to drop me a DM or, more securely, a line over Signal (in bio).
Same goes federal workers who work on/with religion, but are facing cuts.

Rulers of earth, give ear! Should you not justice show?
Will God your pleading hear, while crime and cruelty grow?
Do justly; love mercy; walk humbly with your God.

A letter from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas.
“I never thought I would live in a time when the United States government would censure a bishop, jeopardize religious free speech, or threaten to take people while they attend worship.” ⚓️

Beatitudes series this Sunday unleashes “Blessed are those who mourn” on our individual/collective *acedia* (not really sloth but listlessness, indifference, frenetic busyness). What if we took @mariancall.bsky.social’s plaintive yet beautiful advice to “stop what you’re doing & cry for a while”? 🕯️

Aelred of Rievaulx’s feast day today. Big fan. Lots to consider in his work on friendship as well as his leadership of an abbey you can still visit & be in awe of today (in ruins, go see it in winter, don’t @ me). 🕯️
