I rarely share sermons but felt drawn to post this one. One of my favorite stories in the Bible.

A screenshot from Twitter: "Turns out if you post a lot on Twitter, sometimes a beautiful woman will recognize you at a conference and you’ll start dating! Thanks for making this an Advent to remember @KatelynBeaty" with a picture of niche poster @jrbrownfield and actual Christian notable Katelyn Beaty

Some news! Thank you for the reminder @baptohammer.bsky.social

I check this like once every two weeks but you are right!!!!

I and a couple others will be starting this tomorrow with Jonah 1. Please join me! Bonhoeffer required his seminarians meditate for 30 minutes; if you can do that, great! If not, try 5 or 10. Either in the morning or whenever you can

Crossposting from Twitter: If you do not already have a regular morning prayer practice and would like to try what Bonhoeffer says here, please reply. Following Bonhoeffer, we will attempt to individually meditate on a short passage of Scripture, the same passage for about a week at a time

And one from my sending parish!

I know another man, unjustly forced out, who eventually returned when the people needed him most...

"But God has seen my wretched state
Before the world's foundation,
And mindful of his mercies great,
He planned for my salvation.
He turned to me a father's heart,
He did not choose the easy part,
But gave his dearest treasure."
-Martin Luther

I'll never stop seething that the preface of my 25th anniversary Lonesome Dove edition spoiled the two main plot points of the book

No way. No f***ing way.

I'm now a Muesli man. It's so over for all of you

Thank you, Mother

We should revise the 1979 BCP but only to permit the Christological Trisagion ⚓

You're going to start seeing more and more of this, because of Woke

"My dove, my perfect one, is only one" (Sg 6:9)
-The Almighty God, about you (yes, you, personally)

SPECULATION: Taylor is dressed entirely in black and white at the Grammys, which means- you guessed it- she is taking vows as a Dominican friar. Praise God!

"But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?" (Mal 3:1-2)

"When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, 'Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one'" (Rev 1:17-18)

Men, what's preventing you from dressing like this?

You're right! At that point I was trying to fill blank spaces with short phrases. I heard the phrase "Hooker's tricyle" from @motherpeaches.bsky.social's husband but its earlier geneology is unknown to me!

"Jewel's challenge has never been answered" omg he's LITERALLY me

Only in England- the Scottish bishops made Seabury swear to follow their practice and use Irn-Bru

Apocryphally, I was told of a parish that used pancakes and orange juice

When someone mentions "maniples," "hanging pyx," "copes," "Pusey House" etc to me
