Without using any words from the name of the song, say three words or less that will make a song play in everyone’s head.

I’ll start: Hey! Teachers!

Wonderful, thoughtful read for this Advent season.
I find it so poignant to consider how the same Mary who offers her iconic "yes" to God later comes with Jesus' brothers to take Him home, because they all think He's lost His mind. 🧵

I've been working on digitizing some of my film from 30 years ago. This was taken somewhere along the Croatian coast in, I think, 1994.

Not that I have or expect many followers, but here's a little about me.
Things I do/like/might post about:
- Tolkien
- Philosophy
- Theology
- Literature
- Woodworking
- Photography
- Fishing (particularly fly)
- Boats (wooden)

I'm a complete amateur when it comes to all of the above!

Seriously. I can barely walk to the kitchen in the morning to make coffee without coffee.
I don't understand people who leave their home in the morning to go get coffee.

How do you manage to get out of bed, get dressed, and make it to the coffee shop without caffeine? 🤔😂

A thread that reminds me that no matter how familiar a passage, there is always something new that can be gleaned from the pages of Scripture.
Thank you @dcassidytkc.bsky.social, for the reminder that the Savior doesn't need saving.
Jesus' last miracle before his crucifixion: he healed a man wounded by one of his followers. Then he healed the apostle who wielded his weapon in anger. The wounded man’s name was Malchus, and his ear was severed from his head by Peter, who believed it was his duty to save Jesus.

Last night our little church put on a reader's theater of Dorothy Sayer's play, "The Man Who Would be King". It was wonderful - can highly recommend!
