As the elevator went down one floor today a couple in their 60s got on. The wife said to the husband, "Well I guess we have to see one eyed Sam now!"
is this a MN euphemism that I hadn't heard in 13 years? or is there a bar called One Eyed Sam's I dont know about?
please and thank you

When I preach an inclusive and expansive love at Judson Memorial Baptist Church people clap and say Hallelujah (well, they clap). And yet the struggle to purge the image of God as a judgmental angry dude is real.

It’s Sunday afternoon around 2pm, I stopped by the church to get a book. as i passed through the sanctuary I had to pause and honor the moment because i could still feel the prayers, laments, tears and hopes from this morning.
