This is the part of the Reformation they didn't teach us in Seminary. But also...

The fact that the new ELCA bishop for DC is being installed at the National *Presbyterian* Church makes me chuckle.

It’s like a liturgy conference at a Quaker meeting house.

I wonder if the irony is lost on them.

I don't know what was in the water in the Theology Dept & Protestant Chaplaincy at Georgetown in the mid 2010's, but I know of at least 4 prot clergy/seminarians (including myself) plus a seminary-trained non-profit leader that this era produced. Mysterious ways, I guess.

It's going to be really interesting to watch this play out if the left wakes up to the ethically fraught nature of the way current IVF laws allow for gender selection & creepy eugenics stuff (and then all the other issues) because of Elon Musk's daughter's criticism

Sometimes I think about how UMC Elders don't actually have guaranteed appointment (regardless of how some people talk). Our appointment eligibility is dependent on continued effectiveness. We just have a hierarchy that never does anything about church killers except move them to another parish.

Snow day means baking simple bread with ingredients already in the house.

I put on a dress and talk to crackers.

I’ve seen this meme doing the rounds again. And it’s just, not good? The Magnificat is pretty explicitly not Mary directing people to cast down the mighty. It’s a declaration that *God* has done so through the incarnation.

This meme is just advocating for a crusade with extra steps.

Actually we should make all gambling - including state lotteries, church bingo, and all casinos - illegal.

In other news, my .2 shares of Costco stock are doing pretty well.

I used to do martial arts!

What does a pastor have to do to convince people that Sunday morning children's sports are less important than worshiping the Lord? Can Methodists make missing Sunday worship a mortal sin like the Catholics do? Or can we get states to just ban sports on Saturday & Sunday?

The UM Bishops logo is bad and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.

We had a community “Amazing Grace Race” to benefit hoperisingcenter.org today and my favorite group of knucklehead high schoolers decided to honor me with their team name lmfao. Now to get them to stop talking during the sermon…

Good day at church. Outdoor service followed by a community picnic.
