Everyone has the right to make their own decisions about their beliefs.

You can put all the lipstick you want on that pig, but she still smells like 💩.

Though #flumc25 has ended, the Spirit of awakening grace is moving on this Pentecost Sunday. Big thanks to @revdoccharlie.bsky.social for reminding us of how the birth of the Church came through the empowerment of laity.

Scott Smith prays for me. I can only assume the snarkiness brings him and thus his prayers closer to God. #flumc25

Also, it’s possible I need a palate cleanser.

California was grand.
Goleta street view. Clear blue skies with mountains in the distance. Downtown Santa Barbara at sunset. A street vendor can be seen pushing his cart down a palm tree-lined avenue. Shops light up the sidewalks. Jessica, a 40-something white woman, eats a churro in her hotel room while wearing a bathrobe. A table setting shows the bisexual trifecta of a fun beverage, caffeinated beverage, and hydrating beverage. In this case: a latte, a Mexican Coke, and water.

Also, BlueSky deserves to enjoy my favorite Lenten meme.

The Benevolent Air Travel God has smiled upon me. There are exactly two empty seats on this plane. One is next to me!

I guess if I have to get up at 3:30 a.m., a whole section of the Sky Club to myself is a nice perk.
