Old saying: When a clown moves into the palace, the clown doesn't become a king. The palace instead becomes a circus.
New saying 1: When a criminal moves into the White House, the criminal doesn't become a president. The White House instead becomes a crime scene.

Jesus, Jeremiah, Thomas Aquinas, and Bishop Budde Written by Rev. Kaylee Vida and Rev. Kristen Von Gonten

Compliments on this sermon:
An "amen" from a retired United Methodist Bishop.
A retired UMC pastor and professor saying "It wasn't at all heretical, but it could definitely get you persecuted".
Also, a huge thank you to my friend Rev. Kaylee Vida.

Don't mind me. I'm just a clergy person, who happens to be a woman, getting ready for a lectionary chosen text I'll be preaching on Sunday. Today I am so thankful for the calling God has placed on my life and for the way I get to live it out.

This woman is not a β€œfar left liberal activist.” She’s just an old fashioned Christian, doing what Christians have been doing for 2000 years.

I'm sick and stuck at home for a few days. My wonderful MIL asked me what kind of soup I wanted. So I told her. Y'all, I thought she would buy some from the store. Nope. I got homemade carrot ginger soup. *Homemade*
