"Caesar is not God. Look to your conscience."

I confess. I’m going to be very disappointed if I don’t see t-shirts everywhere tomorrow reading, “I don’t give a plane.”

It’s on for May 25 as well. ❤️

If you’re a Christian mystic or interested in the mystical, contemplative, meditative practices of Christianity, I am here for you at 11:30 this Sunday morning, May 11 at the Ashland, Oregon public library ❤️ www.facebook.com/share/1Ac1Xi...

Da Pope: Chicago Loses Its Mind Over Homegrown Pontiff Within minutes of the announcement, Chicagoans had Photoshopped the new pope holding an Italian beef sandwich and made at least 50 Malört jokes.

Over a background of clouds, a cross, and blue sky, white text reads: Christian Mystics’ Support Group. Led by Independent Catholic priest Father Scott Carter, this group is a small gathering of those who practice or are interested in learning about Christian contemplative, or mystical, spirituality. The meeting is free, open to the public, educational, supportive, and non-dogmatic. (It is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Ashland Public Library.) When: 11:30 am, Sunday May 4. Where: Guanajuato Room, Ashland Public Library, 410 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, Oregon.

Mystically-leaning Christian with nowhere to go? Near Ashland, Oregon beginning in May? I will soon be leading a small support group for those who practice or are interested in contemplative Christian spirituality.

If you’re near Noble Coffee in Ashland, Oregon and want to talk this morning, I’m here for you.

A front door decorated for Mardi Gras is pictured: gold and purple fleur-de-lis banner; beads; skull mask over a red door; ivory crucifix; tall purple candle in a gold cherub holder and draped in beads—all against a green wall. The vibe is “Let the good times roll!”

There’s a time to feast and a time to fast. “Let the good times roll.”

Depressed about the state of American society? The documentary "Join or Die" is now streaming on Netflix. It's a recent look at the work of Robert Putnam, author of "Bowling Alone". Feeling inspired afterwards? Read "The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness."

A lit candle shines next to the words: "Empire worships power. Advent tells a different story."

Empire worships power. Advent tells a different story.

@jaketapper.bsky.social Happy Birthday, sir! Thanks for all you do.

Thank you @jaketapper.bsky.social for being on the right side of the great “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” controversy and for continuing to allow airtime for Lazenby appreciators despite not being one yourself. (Also appreciated the emotion you displayed during the It’s A Wonderful Life clip.❤️)

@jaketapper.bsky.social I see you, Tapper…Jake Tapper. Did I miss the hard reporting? Connery, Craig, Moore, Lazenby, Brosnan, Dalton. That—is the correct order. 😉
