This morning, when Brian started the car, it seems a pair of opossums were asleep in the wheel wells. Opossum Armageddon followed in our driveway. A sad and bloody event.

Holy Father, who accompanied your daughters on their way to the tomb, and in the power of your Spirit, turned their sorrow into joy, bring us too into the joy of those who found the tomb empty. Amen. bethfelkerjones.substack.com/p/myrrhbeare...

Holy Father, give us the hands and feet of the Myhhrbearers and the Magi, that we might make known the God who shows no partiality. By your Spirit, empower us to tell the good news that Jesus is risen from the dead. Amen. bethfelkerjones.substack.com/p/myrrhbeare...

Friends -- you're warmly invited to join me & Seminary Now this Thursday for a live webinar & Q&A on the Trinity. seminarynow.com/pages/trinit...

Here's part of my take on Netflix's Adolescence: 1: it's fear mongering, to some extent making up a bogeyman and 2: for all that, it still has us looking at the boy, doesn't it, now? It's still his story. It's not Katie's story.

Don't miss my interview with Emily Hunter McGowin about her book, Households of Faith open.substack.com/pub/bethfelk...

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

Thesis: some of the tradwife business is daughters being frustrated that their mothers couldn't do it all. The anger is directed at mothers, when it should be directed at the system.

Hebrews shows us a Jesus who EMPATHIZES and is without sin. ...we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin... (Hebrews 4).
