How much longer when these idiots?
Because nobody in the administration ever took an ECON 101 class to know how tariffs work. Amateurs have taken over
If that happens and there is not official pushback by every state then it's time to throw some tea in the harbor
I'm good with the contract. It doesn't break the bank, gives a mentor as the kids come up, and he's still willing to use the body. Looking at FA last year, I don't think you can replace him any cheaper
Who would have ever guessed that tariffs would do that?? Only anyone that ever took econ 101.
Had a guest that was supposed to do a 10 minute temple talk. 45 minutes later I scrapped the sermon. I had more thank you for not preaching than I normally get from preaching.

So, Roman Catholic Pope and Lutheran Presiding Bishop both Chicago folks... Maybe it's time to become a fan of DaBears
I have been offline for a few months. My #PTSD service dog died on NY Eve and then I slipped on ice and broke my back after a Commendation of the Dying in February. Came back to track #elcacwa25
Thrilled with the call of +Bp Curry to Presiding Bishop
I still in could conscious could not do that.
MARSHALL IS HEADED TO THE FINAL FOUR!!!

Gus should never be on the ice again.
Cut Chiarot today. Take the cap hit. He's horrible.
#LGRW
Guinness the #PTSD #ServiceDog doing what he does
*worse feelings
Haven't forgotten the 20 books in 20 days for #booksky
Have some cardiac things going on and haven't been around the office for a few days
I'm sorry. Truly. There are few feelings than an outsider among insiders.
As one of the insiders I too feel the disconnect with the way the current structure operates.
The entire system feels rudderless currently.
Prayers and thank you for your ministry outside of the walls.
Reading a paper and stumbled across a quote from physicist Niels Bohr. Bohr was responding to his son who was complaining about the obtuse nature of physics concepts.
Bohr said, "You are not thinking, you are merely being logical."
Dang, that landed danger close.
O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Christ our Lord. Amen
Such an amazing book. Eugene Peterson was an amazing pastoral theologian. He got parish ministry better than most.
Watching the decommissioning of my seminary's campus. Grateful for being on that Holy Ground for a season.
Grateful to the faculty and staff that helped shape and mold a kid into a pastor.

#LTSS class of 93
Great book!!!!
Wake up call today. Need a heart cath - expedited. Guess I am mortal after all.
Some synods have "stated supply" - someone who leads worship regularly but does not do other duties of the pastoral office
There are days I feel like King Midas. Everything I touch turns to gold. Then there are days I feel like the Tidy Bowl guy. Everything I touch turns to shit.
This is a Tidy Bowl day
I have tried and twice been hospitalized for exhaustion. Do not recommend. 0/10
Much nicer than my alb, stole and chausible.
Too many thoughts, mond racing, post suicide debriefing with my police family, a death notification. PTSD is roaring in my ears tonight. Need do self care that doesn't involve bourbon
