When doing a "favor" for a person who hasn't paid for legal advice, be prepared for the rudeness and insults that inevitably follow. You have to pay me to be a cunt towards me.

Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish Recipe Every year as Thanksgiving approaches, fans ask Susan Stamberg for her mother-in-law's recipe for cranberry relish. Read that recipe and a bonus recipe for garlicky cranberry chutney.

RIP Susan Stamberg. You were a Real One.

Alan Bentrup

I received death threats.

The threat with the image below came just hours after the County Judge and a County Commissioner released a letter calling on people to "stand against entities" like me and the church I serve, because we were hosting Pride Kel-So.

When I asked the County Judge about the incendiary language in his letter, he said maybe we should cancel the event.

He picked the wrong priest to try and intimidate.
When I asked the County Commissioner about the same language, he quoted Jesus to me...the part where Jesus says it would be better if I were dead than to cause others to sin.

He picked the wrong priest to try and intimidate.

Death threats will not make me back down.

I want to be clear. I am not the caricature of a "woke priest" that some people want to imagine. I'm guessing everyone reading this would be surprised by at least one of my political positions. Or by the people l've voted for.

I understand that people hold different theological and moral views around LGBTQ issues. I've wrestled with these questions and had hard conversations about them. And I have decided that I don't need to have the answers. I just need to share the deep and wide and growing love of Jesus Christ.

We can have thoughtful, faithful, and serious theological discussions about this and other topics. But we cannot deny the basic humanity of our brothers, sisters, and siblings. And we cannot threaten violence against people we disagree with.
Our community deserves better.

I will continue to show up with love, courage, and conviction.

And I will not be intimidated into silence.

Iโ€™m proud to call the Revโ€™d Alan Bentrup, who serves a congregation in Keller, one of my clergy colleagues here in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. โš“๏ธ

Wow. Well, this app isn't exactly free of idiots making death threats, either. Personally, I'd take threats on the other place more seriously. More folks just itching to use their weapons.

Paul, he means he wants to save lives above all else. I realize that's out of fashion in the US and other parts of the world, and Trump isn't a fan, but it is a moral imperative. That's what Dr. Hotez is trying to convey.

Anyway, I called United Airlines today to ask them why they fired a parent for speaking to the superintendent of her child schools. I asked them if this extended to the political beliefs of passengers. They hung up on me.

Have any other lawyers heard of Marble Law? I have a consult this afternoon on a case they started.

Kidnapping 13 year olds is such a peaceful thing to do.

So give them correct information if thatโ€™s actually your concern.

He specifically stated he was a little kid. Are you a bully who never recovered or something? You want to go back in time and bully him as a child? Jfc.

I wasn't sad that he got the Dahmer treatment. Sure, that sounds bad, but the man abused 2 year-olds and possibly younger.
