“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

I think the only thing I miss from Twitter were the balloons on birthdays. 🎈

If you voted for him, you've done this.

A cupcake on a napkin that is multi colored with sparkling sliver text that reads “Happy Birthday” - the cupcake is chocolate with autumn colored frosting and sprinkles… and best of all… a raccoon shaped toy ring!

Thanks to everyone for the hundreds of posts, texts, calls, and cards! This life is so precious and I’m honored to walk through it with you! It was a busy day in the parish… but we did have cupcakes at the vestry meeting to celebrate! I am #BlessedAndHighlyFavored 🥳🫶🧁

Alleluia! 🙌

“We come to bury his heart, but not his love. Never his love.” ❤️

“Those who say, ‘I love God’ and hate their brothers or sisters are liars. After all, those who don’t love their brothers or sisters whom they have seen can hardly love God whom they have not seen! — Those who claim to love God ought to love their brother and sister also.” - 1st John 4:20-21 CEB

I pray for Mr. Kirk’s family and all who loved him to find comfort through the love Jesus Christ has for all who are broken hearted — especially as this family now knows in part some of the grief that Mr. Kirk advocated and championed toward so many others.

I pray that now in the presence of our exceedingly gracious God, Mr. Kirk might realize the harm he has done and accept forgiveness for his sins; entrusting his soul into the loving hand of our ever merciful Creator.

“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk, 2023 following a mass school shooting that left multiple children dead.

Charlie Kirk became wealthy and popular by promoting the hatred of his neighbors and inciting others to violence against thier brothers and sisters with his rhetoric.

Violence is evil. I am grieved by the increasingly common disregard for life that is evident on our streets, in our homes, and at our schools everyday in this nation - several examples today alone. Anyone who takes the life of another should be held to account in accordance with the law.

My life as a priest. 🖤

Asher (a vizsla) is curled up in one of his dog beds, this one in front of a window. It looks super cozy. The sun is shining on his copper fur. Random furniture is also in the pic. Asher is the best boy!

Tuesday was National Dog Day apparently. To honor here is a a picture of Asher enjoying a nap in a sunbeam at home earlier this afternoon. He’s had a rough week… including an encounter with a skunk & therefore several baths (which he hates). Capped off with his annual checkup & immunizations. 🦨 🛁 💉🧡

Sycophants… every last one of them in this administration.

Warmongers … every last one of them in this administration.

Sycophants… every last one of them in this administration.

Sycophants… every last one of them in this administration.

This looks like a fun way to spend Sunday afternoon! Make HERR’S yours… in NYC! 🥔🗽

My mood: They didn’t start off wearing red robes…

Last week was his feast day, the day he was arrested for helping to register black voters — Today marks the day he was martyred, 60 years ago. Blessed Jonathan Myrick Daniels, pray for us.
