We’ll be reading the very-long-every-three-years gospels in parts the next three Sundays to save our deacon’s voice and break it up a bit. Great stories, but too much to hear in one voice!

Based on an awful lot of social media posts I’ve seen, I feel it’s important to remind people that bloodlust is not one of the fruits of the spirit.

After years of being at Shrove Tuesday parishes, I’m now at a Mardi Gras parish. I miss the pancake races and explaining the verb “to shrive,” though admittedly the food and music are better.

Culture wars are exhausting. Outrage du jour is exhausting. Tribalism is exhausting.

I’m no communications specialist, but this seems like an odd choice for an image to go with this diocesan event…

Major winter storms across the country on Sunday can only mean one thing: God detests Annual Meetings!

One of the differences in spending time at coffee shops in the north vs. in the south, is that down here, there’s always a table with a middle-aged man doing 95% of the talking while “discipling” someone from his church. And it rather grates!

Still amazed that our iconic resale shop, The Church Mouse in Palm Beach, made this list!

Can’t believe nobody gave me a partridge yesterday. Still hoping for some poultry over the next few days.

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth." In case anyone forgot, THIS is the reason for the season. It's always about grace. It's always been about grace. It will always be about grace. #9lc

Whenever I see this composer’s name, I’m always convinced it’s a total stage name. Like Gary Glitter.

It’s always good to get a budget passed. Looks like we’ll have church again next year…

I’m all for rose-colored vestments on Gaudete Sunday. Unless they’re the color, as many seem to be, of Pepto Bismol.

I have a nephew at Brown. He’s fine. But, damn. Enough of this.
