Check this out, NA, non-carbonated water!

The fact that you can now get a White Claw NA just means there's room for a sequel on that sketch.

I have two packs of pierogi in the freezer. Dershowitz can't have those either.

Yep, in God's image. That checks out.

And we got it again at Morning Prayer. 😬

It's hard to NOT watch him. I was just going to watch the intro. Not possible.

Our new rectors third Sunday was another time of rejoicing. Got to #touchpews today and followed up with a productive vestry meeting.

Our choir sung it beautifully.

Such a good collect.

Stanley M. Hauerwas?... Hmmm. Maybe I've heard of him. Might be a different Hauerwas though.

It's like COVID. Stop testing, numbers go down.

Yes, cherish is the word. The last one we did could also qualify as a list of the saints of the church.

The last one our church did we ended up with a case or two leftover. Even with the best cookbooks I have I tend to just pull something from online. There are a few recipes that I go back to but I have pics of them and still use my phone.

⚓Look who was in my inbox this morning! @scottagunn.bsky.social - www.ecfvp.org/vestry-paper...

23 flavors, all blended to bring joy.

Someone fire up the Hadron Collider and just keep doing it until we find another timeline. I'll give up donuts at this point if it brings back some sort of believable reality.

I saw it a month ago! Can verify. Caught our attention too.

Image of a white man with open hands. Text offers mammon as a religious option.

Discussion around greed and idolatry reminded me of this evergreen image.

The weaker half. Not exactly half, a y tree and now it's a bent I tree.

Solidarity from West Tennessee. Half an oak tree laid across our power lines. No one hurt and the utility people are making quick work of it.

Me, sitting at an airport.

Me: listen, my therapist wants that too but we’re working on it.

The Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, scholar, activist, priest, sits smiling at their desk surrounded by a library of books, holding a pencil and absorbed in writing. They wear a clerical collar and a bright blue jacket. Pauli was a longtime and tireless civil rights scholar who kept up yearslong correspondence with Eleanor Roosevelt; whose legal theories on sex discrimination deeply influenced Ruth Bader Ginsburg; who was a founder of NOW; and who later in life became the first Black person understood to be a woman to be ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. Pauli had a woman partner and was also very likely transgender, although they lived ahead of times when the reality of being gay and transgender could be lived out publicly. July 1 is the feast day of Pauli Murray in the Episcopal Church’s calendar of saints, Lesser Feasts and Fasts — continuing a celebration of what some folks call Liberation Month in June as we have been celebrating Juneteenth and Pride.

Continuing Juneteenth & Pride: today is Pauli Murray’s feast day in the Episcopal Church! ⚓️

“When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them. Where they speak out for the privileges of a puny group, I shall shout for the rights of all humankind.”
