I'm finding Paul's first letter to Timothy to have more timeless practical advice than I remember it... #dailyoffice ⚓️

What the... 1. I want the erasers to publicly state why... 2. Remember that the people who do the erasing are never ever the good guys.

Posting this for the record. Also, where's the other 20%? Unsure? Unaware?

The thing that gets me about the reaction to Bishop Mariann’s sermon is that if (bracketing out the preamble which is address to a specifically US constitutional context - and was studiedly non partisan) you imagine it being preached at a mediaeval court, it would be pretty much exactly the same.

I’m not sure what good it will do, but I wrote my DC representatives about the deplorable refugee decision. ⚓️ www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA...

One happy Beagle on a snowy day. #Enzo

The prophet Isaiah bringing a word today... #DailyOffice

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

Something powerful about reading James Michener's poetic telling of the formation of the Hawaiian islands while sitting on a beach in Hawaii, looking at rocks that were formed millions of years ago.

Everything is a journey, and I am thankful to start the 2025 journey with a two month sabbatical. I'll take another part in the spring/summer. There are no grand plans or anything. 1/3

I thought about this post on Sunday when a parishioner said to me in the handshake line after the second service, "Will you give me a call this week." I said, "I'm going to need you to call or text to remind me." It's now Tuesday. I've heard nothing, and I have no clue who it was who asked.

If you have kids, the Monday after Thanksgiving is the hardest Monday of the year. You cannot convince me otherwise.

The McRib still slaps. Perfect day-after-thanksgiving, drive home lunch.

Can't wait to see what Dr. Phil gets...

For the people who don’t have time, here’s your Readers Digest version. You’re welcome.

This snippet from Psalm 123 seems appropriate for today. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, * for we have had more than enough of contempt, Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, * and of the derision of the proud. #morningprayer

The Episcopal Church owes @davidsibley.bsky.social a huge thanks for his work on the DHP and helping all of the church have a more equitable health insurance costs. #gc81 #episcopal

The people who always impress me the most at General Convention are the translators who speak word for word in real time. In awe of their gifts! #gc81 #episcopal

EWN -> CLT -> SDF See ya soon, General Convention!

Grateful for the sermon I heard today expanding the imagery of the mustard shrub. #episcopal podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chr...

Happy Birthday to @davidsibley.bsky.social!!!

Breakfast on VBS Day 3. #ifkyk

I took both of these pics at 8:19pm, just seconds apart. After the first one, I thought, "I wonder how far I can zoom..." Apparently pretty far. I know I inadvertently tapped something else on my screen to make the moon look like that. #moon #samsung

Co-sign... the 5-yr old who is asking his dad questions throughout the service knows more about the liturgy than most adults!

Spicy chicken sandwich rankings. Zaxby's > Popeye's > Chick-fil-A I will not be taking questions at this time.

Say what you want, but Louis Gossett Jr's best role was Chappy in Iron Eagle.

Am I humming "Where you there when the crucified my Lord" while waiting for my lunch at the local sandwich shop? Yes. Yes I am. #GoodFriday

Thankful for the wisdom of @karanslade.bsky.social at the Diocese of East Carolina's Convention.

Sabbath-before-Diocesan-Convention breakfast.

THE PROBLEM: Most forms of energy are harming the environment THE SOLUTION: Switch to alternative forms of renewab... THE PROBLEM: Hold on, I have an idea, what if we made invisible valueless money that eats electricity THE SOLUTION: ...what? THE PROBLEM: Also I have this plagiarism machine

I spent the first 90 minutes of my work day doing the tasks of my Parish Administrator (out on medical leave). Some tasks were easy. Some are still in process (waiting on calls back). Some were major time sucks. Y'all. Have always been grateful for their work, but now, a new appreciation.

A nice surprise to see @davidsibley.bsky.social in the audience of Jeopardy!

Poppi is only spoiled because I'm a sucker...
