It's like when local elections happen right after you move to a new town and your just kinda voting down the ticket or like there's one person up for town clerk so you're just like well I guess I'll vote for them, sure.

You also do just know a lot of people I feel like. You are good at people. I only meet new people via church anymore. Otherwise, I've known you for 15-20 years.

Glad we're all on a Levertov kick (see my most recent post on Grow Christians - and then I made my MMC singing pals read Levertov the other day).

Yeah! I write for this site somewhere between monthly and quarterly depending on everyone's needs and capacity and I have a lot of fun – the editor just kinda sets me loose.

I also endorse greater creativity in your self-destructive threats. “I’m going to chug eight liters of orange soda.” “I’m going to crawl into a sepulcher.” Etc.

Two of my eight year olds got super into the children’s altar setup and used the materials to give lots of people “communion” and then grabbed hymnals and mirrored the procession out in the side aisle. So, great!

Anyway, I love this family and this almost-16 year old is a fantastic human being and I am honestly pretty honored to be asked.

My pack of elementary school kids were in the front pew with me shouting the congregation lines in the Passion reading, so pretty good!

My boss was not prepared to arrive and have me say “Jesus and the donkey are waiting on the counter” at 9am on Palm Sunday.
Honestly, he should be by now, though.

Anyway, we're all gonna need coats for this Palm Sunday procession.
