Apologies to everyone who considers Smith the sports unc, but this man is going to sell out in a manner so spectacular that you will be astonished. He is going to make Ritchie Torres look like Angela Davis.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Labor Day
Every week my church releases an e-newsletter that starts with a section called “dear friends.” This is usually a letter written by a rotating crew of people focused on something happening around the church community, or has recently occurred. This week I had the pleasure of writing about Labor Day. The following is that section: Dear friends, It is Labor Day Weekend, which means the church office is closed Monday, and will re-open on Tuesday.

“KKK flyers found in Norwalk…”
This week flyers for the knights of the klu klux klan was found scattered around in Norwalk Ohio, and according to the news story from 13ABC Toledo (which you can watch by clicking here), this is the second time in a few months this has happened. I have been relatively quiet on the writing front even though there has been much to say. There is so much shit going on, I haven't known where to start, so here are four things that have happened since I posted my last sermon:

I don’t believe in hell. But if I did, it’d be straight guys who think they’re smart comedians with podcasts.

Naked and Afraid (Luke 8:29-34)
Trinity Toledo This is the transcript from my sermon on 6/22/2025. You can watch it here at the 23 minute mark. The day I was finishing up the sermon, the US bombed Iran. The context is important for how this starts. Whenever there is a global, national, or local tragedy and I am preaching, I leave a minute for us to center ourselves. With the United States bombing Iran yesterday, I am sure we are all feeling and thinking different things right now. So please, let us take a moment to remember the community God calls us to be in this world.

When one of the cowards in the LAPD shoved a 77 year-old Army vet, the crowd caught the man before he crashed into the pavement. The cops do not protect us. We literally protect us *from the cops*.

This is how LAPD treats our elders. Never forget.

The entirety of Europe wonders what the hell happened to America to elect the stupidest human on earth as president.
MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe

TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day

MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

The least important lie of this administration, but I need my non-US follows to know what a freak of nature it is to be a white American and not be even a little bit Irish

Our team with Cindy Buhl This past week a few of us from the church I work at, Trinity Episcopal Church, went to Washington D.C. to share our concerns with a few people. These people were Rep. Jim McGovern’s Legislative Director Cindy Buhl, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, and Senior Aid to Sen. Jon Husted, Sean Dunn. Unfortunately, Sen. Bernie Moreno’s office could not supply someone to meet with us.

Went to go load the dishwasher only to find the dishes in there were clean.

I hate that feeling.
