Pastor Kel

I’ve never had a single thought of being in the military. Still, I can’t imagine anyone who’d consider enlisting or staying any longer given the amateurs in charge.

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Keeping with the theme of Stead-fast, this sermon invites us to listen to wisdom from long ago about how to stay true to self and community, and how to take steps to return to the way of love in a distracted and even cruel world.

Well, sure: if you loved you “house mammy” how could you be racist. Just ask all those confederate flag-waving offspring of those slave owners in the South.

Pretty sure it says our white supremacy caste system is deeply embedded in our souls.

We weren’t stuttering.

You gave up any high ground when you capitulated.

(Side note: I really wish Bluesky had an edit button! Apologies for any typos. They bother the heck outta me. I press post, THEN see it. 😑)

Lost my filter the first round. It’s far worse now.

And I’m a pastor, dammit!

We know a government shut down will be painful for everyone, especially the most vulnerable. But giving into to fascism will be worse.
Just say “NO”.

GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent - LGBTQ Nation And that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill.

Brace yourselves, because you’re not gonna believe it.
Yesterday, the GOP in West Virginia approved an amendment that will allow a child’s doctor to examine their genitals without the consent of their parents.
This is BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE.
GOP = Group of Perverts

Just saw a new term for Leon Mollusk and his minions, and they will forever be known as DOGEbags

If republicans aren’t willing to show up for town hall meetings, candidate who will run against them need to start holding them.

Hahahaha.

Stocks, and my retirement are taking a big hit, but nothing approaching this.

I think I’ve got a decade or more on you, hitting 60 this month.
I think my live music days are in my past, unless we’re at a protest or sit in.

And this is where I start to feel really old. 9?!!! That’s bedtime.
I’m gonna try to get some of my cool young friends to show up.

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia.

Donald Trump is golfing.

I fee like an old man (ok, I am a bit) what time and where in Oly?

Prepped the garden.
Counted momma goose Marilyn’s eggs (13)!
Ate eggs straight from the henhouse.
Played some music.
Bought meadow flower mix from a local organic supplier.
Gave Amazon $0.
What did you do today?

Meanwhile he and his inner circle are making profits buying and selling stock before each announcement. It’s a grift.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

If you haven’t extricated yourself from Amazon completely yet, but you’re taking steps, good for you. Keep going. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.

I’d be broke, but also doing good work.
Brilliant!

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Oh, and I preached a whole sermon on Jesus’ TRANSfiguration yesterday, when he came out to his closest friends and God said, “this is my beloved, my chosen…”

Bringing 5 dozen of our hens eggs to a community feed for Mardis gras. Always looking in on some of our vulnerable adults and those who can’t get out much.
Checked in with our Guatemalan congregation to make sure their folks aren’t being harassed or worse.
