Did not take any pictures at my friend’s celebration of new ministry because I was in a pew of delightful elementary school children, but did get to visit St. Paul’s Newburyport on a work project, which was lovely!

Anyway, banner number one is done, more in progress. It does not have to be this complicated, but making it a little extra complicated is part of making it special.

Had an extremely sweet time guest preaching using Godly Play at a friend’s church in Connecticut for the monthly Children’s Sunday! Also the sanctuary there is so beautiful.

Happy “They very much did kill Jesus” day with thanks to our old tumblr pal Diana.

Jesus, the donkey, and I are ready for Palm Sunday!

The sad baby as we found her when we got home from work/school today - all tucked in.

Wife is correct - throw the whole foot away.

It's in progress! I swore I was doing something *less* intensive for Lent this year... and yet.

I am as happy as these canoeing woodland creatures. Also a snippet of my space devoted to rest or something like it.

I made a beautiful za’atar roast chicken with sumac potatoes and shallots for thanksgiving with my in-laws and it was great.

Got an important alert from my wife's calendar this morning –

Special gratitude for the Under-40 contingent – nothing like hanging out with other young church nerds who casually cite various canons in conversation.

Touched down in Baltimore to do Episcopal committee stuff for a few days! (Shoutout to @swordsjew.bsky.social for quality reading material en route, as I work my way through Wild Faith.)

Leading an introduction to Godly Play for a Congregational church this morning! I wonder what seeds will be planted…

Settling in over here. It's easy to track down the professional network and some of the very old IRL friends, but gosh is it fun and weird to undertake finding all the people who have been part of my internet life for the last 12-15 years.

Anyway, have a little Weasel cat while I work this out.
