Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I think I would have heard of it before now

I genuinely don’t remember if the version of the pledge at my Christian school ended “God” or “Him” but I think it was him.

I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s holy Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path, and will hide its words in my heart, that I might not sin against Him.

Dance like no one is watching.—Pope Leo XIV

Had our first proper book club meeting for Moby Dick with the first chunk read and I could have cried when everyone immediately started raving about it, how funny it was, how much they loved Ishmael and Queequeg, how much more readable it was than they feared. Ladies and gentlemen, we got em.

My most common typo when writing is “our” for “are” and vice versa, because I usually pronounce them identically and type what I hear in my internal monologue.

Can't imagine having to worry about stuff like formula, diapers and other baby essentials in the LA fires. This org is working with schools, homeless shelters and other affiliates to make sure families with babies and very young children have what they need. Please give them whatever money you can.

Bodes ill.

The concepts are valuable only to the extent to which they are lightweight, informal and transparent to the biblical witness which they serve to indicate.”
—John Webster 2/2

“Abstract concepts such as those created in the dogmatic tradition of the church are not intended to replace or improve upon what is set out in Scripture, but simply to gather together what Scripture articulates to assist its orderly explication. 1/2

Cannes moderator asking about the dangerous stunts in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: “You risk your life, monsieur. Why do you do it?” Tom Cruise: “No one asked Gene Kelly, ‘Why do you dance?’”

i know why people feel weird about admitting that tom cruise is one of the hardest to ever do it but the math doesn’t lie

Mr. Beast is a modern-day King Wenceslas, bringing alms to the poor and uplifting us by allowing us to "tread in his footsteps" virtually, by watching his uplifting YouTube videos.

Follow Jesus, who goes before you. He draws you to salvation. He gathers you . . . into “the Church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven.” “Blessed is she who believed,” and blessed is he who believed, “because what the Lord said to them will be fulfilled.”—Origen

I (American, Southern, suburban) always assumed there was a “real name” for pigs in a blanket because it’s such a silly name.

Even though it’s a misunderstanding, my wife and I are incorporating a version of this into our Christmas celebration. We’re both excited to see what book the other one picked out for us.

i just want to double down on this. d’onofrio’s “egger” performance is unreal. like, you immediately accept with no hesitation that this man you are watching is a giant alien cockroach in a human suit, and it’s all done with make-up and physical acting. a top ten hollywood physical performance.

Watching Superstore. I keep bark laughing and scaring my wife and dogs.

Is It Cake? But it’s just CAKE playing different songs and you have to answer if it’s one of theirs or not.

In for a treat! Have fun!

Most typical Jonathan text

The Lord has put away all your sins

@benjamindcrosby.bsky.social enjoyed your reflections on Advent I! My wife and I used it for an evening devotional.

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

“It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.” Ecclesiastes 7:2
Incredible that a gospel preacher would stand in the way of that.

O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord;

without confusion, without change, without division, without separation

by your cross and precious blood, you have redeemed us
