I'm an ordained minister actively serving a local church and this is not good.

@frutledge.bsky.social following me and liking some of my posts is really encouraging to me! Her writings and sermons have long fed my soul and continually point me to Jesus.

My pastoral encouragement this Advent/Christmas season: take some time and serve the hungry, bless the refuge who moved onto your block, or spend time with an outsider - someone hurting that drives you crazy, or maybe be kind to someone having a bad day behind the store checkout counter, 1/2

Now, it's 47%

As a pastor I hate writing sermons on Saturdays. I'm just in a better place when it is wrapped by Friday. Thanksgiving falling on a Thursday always makes that a little hard, so I'm sitting here trying to write a sermon, but getting distracted by #Bluesky.

Wow, watching the Frontline documentary China, the US and the Rise of Xi Jinping. They just said China has 1 government surveillance camera with facial recognition software for every 2 Chinese citizens! A true techno-autocratic and authoritarian place.

Hey @charliepeacock.bsky.social! As a 15 year old I bought your album Everything That's on My Mind. I listened to it a lot. It was good for my soul and my development as a young man to learn that "weakness is my testimony." Just a bit of encouragement from a random pastor here on Bluesky.
