Joel Quenneville helped cover up the sexual abuse of one of his own players. He's not fit to ever coach again at any level.

Church as field hospital. Sometimes we forget that all of our best theological metaphors are, at points, not metaphorical at all.

Mildly haunted by the knowledge that birds *sound* different than they used to, as some species have adjusted the pitch & volume of their calls to essentially shout above human noise. And I wonder which species have developed a way to say, “I’m not mad—I just want to make sure you can hear me!”

LLMs can confidently explain that "diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era," but they can't make me laugh when they do.

Wouldn't it be great if chronic illnesses were a little less chronic.

This beautiful little creature has been feasting on clover in our backyard for several days. To celebrate earth day, it delighted my 4yr old by hanging out on the welcome mat while we ate lunch inside.

Dallas scoring an OT playoff goal with a skater’s skate in the crease? I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before…

1. Everyone gets sick. 2. If patriotism is worth anything at all, it means your patriotic duty is to take care of your neighbor. 3. The primary healthcare resource is love of neighbor—not a finite good to be consumed. 4. Only the rich can afford to forget the necessity of love when you’re ill.

Holy Saturday is insane. No matter how you come at it, this day of pause staunchly resists the idea of naturally reasoning one’s way into faith.

The strangest way I’ve met a neighbor yet was a lady from down the street stopping by just now to show us a picture of a vehicle that came rolling through earlier stealing everyone’s mail.

Started the day sharing the Lord’s Supper with our food distribution community—volunteers and guests. A robust beginning to this holy weekend.

The real epidemic here is impatience. An unwillingness to encounter, befriend, or appreciate another human being in the unceasing haste to drag them along in the wake of one’s own designs. Which is to say, greed.

"We get everyone at the library." We talked about encountering others in Sunday School last week. I named public schools and traffic court as the places that most closely represent the breadth of "everyone" in a community. What other spaces can be on that list?

Ah yes, the Underground Railroad and the bridge builders it made famous. I remember the elementary school field trip following the last stages of the Underground Railroad where we danced and sang our way across the Peace Bridge into Canada, built and named by Tubman and her crew so long ago.

The 8yr old made up a joke at dinner that got me (and only me) laughing a lot. Q: Why did Mickey Mouse go to outer space? A: He had a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.

Kind expertise is a gift of the Holy Spirit in human work. A repairman took 20 seconds to see it’s not worth fixing our old espresso machine, and 20 minutes to offer guidance on reliable models from the best factory, how much a refurb should cost, etc. I’ll carry that blessing into every cup.

There are hard truths that, if they cannot be said, nothing can truly be said.
