Air conditioner is broken(ish). And I’m still under a blanket.
My body, covered by a fluffy white blanket, stretched out on the loveseat in our living room.

We worshipped with a Christian Methodist Episcopal church, and their pastor preached. So…the mood was hopeful and excited. But during the prayers of the people, it felt heavy.

Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary’s Revelation series through Eastertide. Eugene Peterson’s book is just wonderful and inspiring.
A book and my open notebook. The book is “Reversed Thunder: The Revelation of John and the Praying Imagination” by Rev Eugene Peterson.

Aww, she’s beautiful. I have a kitty who crossed over, too. This is Simon. We talk about her all the time.

Finding no reading plan for the imprecatory Psalms, I made my own.
A screenshot of my youversion Bible app telling me they have no imprecatory Psalm reading plan. A list of imprecatory psalms, screenshot from my reminders app. Psalm 69, 109, 5, 6, 11, 12 and so on!

When your husband doesn’t trust you to not run over his power washer and other work equipment when you arrive home from church so he sets up an obvious barrier, but also makes sure there’s a path to the door. 😍

Look at this good news! The Bishop has made it into the top ten with her book about bravery! (And that’s even with all the people who refused to buy it from the site where I screenshot this!)
Bishop Budde’s book about bravery is #9 on the bestseller list.

This is probably not as helpful as it could be. But as long as we’re counting down I guess.

I’m not culinarily responsible enough to maintain a sourdough starter, but I can make a loaf with yeast!

I am in one of the snowy places, and I spent a lot of time yesterday watching my bird feeders.

There’s much #joy in being a pastor this time of year. Preparing for Christmas Eve is a favorite task.

Met @mbmccandless.bsky.social at The Farmer and The Frenchman this afternoon. What a #dream to be close enough to meet up for lunch in the middle of December!
