Not so sure about this

This came across my feed today, and it's very good. If you are a Christian who uses "Pharisee" as a synonym for "hypocrite" or otherwise treats them as the villains in the story, you need to read this.

So many passages make more sense once you learn who the Pharisees really were.

Oh wow.

Full video from Bishop Eaton, who concludes w/the story of Saint Lawrence, who defied a Roman emperor by insisting the riches of the church were the poor and needy.

Eaton concludes: “he was martyred for that. Be of good courage, church, and let us preserve.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=Liqz...

A silver and gold Captain Marvel star necklace and two gold Captain Marvel star stud earrings.

At least one Sunday in Advent I like to wear my ambiguous jewelry. Is it Christmas? Is it Captain Marvel? Why not both? (Both/and is very #Lutheran.)

Two pigeons, large stocky birds in shades of gray, with delicate purples and greens on their throats, looking menacing

One pigeon, a large stocky bird in shades of gray, with delicate purples and greens on its throat, its orange eye squinting in a menacing way

Fun fact: All of the pigeons in North America are feral pigeons, the descendants of domesticated Rock Pigeons brought here by humans, before we decided we don't like them anymore.

...is it me or do the pigeons on the pier all look vaguely menacing today? Do you think they KNOW? #birds 🪶 🌿

Honestly, I was just here to watch other people have conversations. 😅

Hi friends: tis the season when food banks get flooded with people ~filled with the holiday spirit~ to give to the hungry.

Here's what you should give!

Money. Give money. Don't go buying soup. Give them money. They can buy in bulk.

…so it’s a day ending in Y, then? (That’s how it works in my house, anyway!)

Two dark brown rectangular loaves with toasted almonds and walnuts on top. One has splotches of what looks like purple dye, or something.

I have nothing to say, so here is a photo of the banana bread I just baked.

Turns out purple sanding sugar does not actually look appealing as a banana bread topping. Now you know.
