I love the Phish from Vermont and I pastor a Lutheran parish in Queens (also: Mets fan, Rangers fan, amateur urban farmer, writer).

It’s amazing how many people didn’t need to do this and they would have been remembered well—especially Rudy Giuliani and Howard Lutnick. Both experienced immense professional and personal tragedy during 9/11, especially Lutnick, and yet here they are in their golden years…

Love coupling this hymn with the Mets. I’ll be there tomorrow thinking of this!

Love Zucc. Not sure why they had to deal him to rebuild.

A rebuild that failed at that.

Our society is not healthy enough to endure such sustained exposure to absolutely rancid New York Metro dudes. Even for those of us who have developed an immunity through long exposure this level of Long Island Guy is unsafe.

ELON (PUSHING AWAY SON): Donald. Donald, you have to see the memes from today, they’re totally legendary.

SCAVINO (EYES BULGING EVEN MORE THAN USUAL): That’s MISTER PRES—

TRUMP (EYES CLOSED, MOUTH BARELY MOVING): Alright, Dave. Okay. Elon, those are really terrific.

Run away as fast as you can from organizations that say, “we’re like a family.”

Oh? You’re *also* full of dysfunctional alcoholics?

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

Slight edit to above. Venue capacity is 13,000 which is bigger than I thought. I thought it was under 10,000.

Phish at Forest Hills Stadium is going to be amazing. The venue is the original US Open tennis championships stadium and is not that big at all. It has to be one of the smaller venues they’ve played recently.

It also has a 10PM curfew so expect a showtime of about 7PM sharp!

He’s still not beating Cuomo so your point stands, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if his poll numbers rose.

Sorry to everyone who was hurt by this statement. There some of us in the LCMS who do not think this was helpful (to say the least).

CTCR Bible study: 'Immigrants Among Us: A Lutheran Framework for Addressing Immigration Issues' The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Commission on Theology and Church Relations offers a Bible study on “Immigrants Among Us.”

This Bible study was produced in 2018 and it’s based on a very good report that was released in 2012. You might find these documents more edifying.

This is going to be super awkward since Elon Musk is currently being anti-Christian.

You know when you walk by a Golden Retriever and it looks at you with an expression that's like "hell yeah man we're on the sidewalk, how sick is that." I feel like that is broadly Pete Alonso's approach to being a Met, and that is the biggest part of why I'm glad he's back with the team.

I guess all those warnings about the government coming for the church were right after all.

Instead of funding research and supportive resources for autism we will get measles, mumps, and rubella.

Because during the height of the reality television craze NBC needed a hit show and they found a star who was desperate to recast his image.

I’ve heard conservative Lutherans complain about and condemn these organizations for years and it comes down to two things:

1) LSS has served a few gay families before

2) LIRS (global refuge) serves refugees who come from other countries.
