"Whether you’re using bricks or canvas, on your own property or on a sidewalk, the making of a home is a sacred act." As we start making preparations to put our house on the market, this feels timely.

Today, the crows get a stale cinnamon bun. They're pretty excited about it. White Wings was back for the first time in more than a week: I was starting to worry about them. 🐦‍⬛ #AccessoryToMurder

With all the other excitement today, I forgot to ask the third #SermonClub question: What's transformative in this coming Sunday's Gospel? The promise that no one can snatch Christ's sheep from his hand seems to build on last week's charge to not just feed, but also care for those sheep. ⚓

The new pope will be called Leo. He was born on 14 September. So he's really a Virgo. 🕯️

Watching the coverage from St Peter's Square, I keep asking myself, 'Do you want a Ghorman Massacre? Because this is how you get a Ghorman Massacre!' #Conclave

Two of these Newfoundland fires are listed as 'under control'; the third, in Conception Bay North, is 'out of control'. 😬 Last night we could smell the smoke drifting in our open windows.

This friend has come early to see if there are any peanuts yet. He was noisy enough that I gave him a couple. 🐦‍⬛ His smaller, younger friend was also given a couple of peanuts in a separate place, but struggled to figure how to carry them both away at once! #AccessoryToMurder

Given that the NRSV is set to be replaced by the NRSVue, I thought I'd compare this Sunday's Gospel in the two. ⚓ Changes were mostly to capitalisation and punctuation, but an interesting switch in emphasis in John 10:29.

Round Two of #SermonClub: What's challenging or disturbing in this Sunday's Gospel (John 10.22-30)? I can't help but cringe a bit when Jesus says 'you are not my sheep'. Having had someone with the role of shepherd once say much the same thing to me, it hits home a bit harder than I'd like. ⚓

A #SermonClub question for those who preach: What is particularly attractive in this coming Sunday's Gospel lesson (John 10.22-30)? 🐑 Is it the idea of a sheepfold that is both a place of welcome AND of security? 🐑 The promise of eternal life? 🐑 The idea of being deeply, intimately known? ⚓

As if I needed any further reasons to keep making friends with the backyard crows... They're also incredibly smart! 🐦‍⬛ #AccessoryToMurder "They consistently identified shapes that were just slightly off, detecting differences based on right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry."

The backyard crows have come to expect peanuts for lunch. They were not expecting to get beef from a leftover stew with today's lunch. So today I got to watch two of my new friends sort out their pecking order and agree on how to take turns at the feeder. 🐦‍⬛ #AccessoryToMurder
