Definitely just had to look up the date of my ordination for my reports to the bishop. Which I did by checking the metadata on the photos on my Google drive. At least I remember my wedding anniversary date...

Anyone had any luck getting ahold of @johnfetterman.com at his office recently? I just tried calling, and both the "leave a comment" and "speak to staffer" phone options ended with me getting hung up on. National crisis, and the one nominal-democrat that allegedly reps me is unreachable. Lovely.

Is there a good call script for calling legislators about gestures wildly all this? (Not that I have much optimism about Pennsylvanian senators doing much, but, y'know.)

Fifteen years later, singing "Christ, Be Our Light" still takes me back to being the lone Lutheran in my college's Catholic Campus Ministry, going to Sunday evening Mass with them. I know none of the CCM folks follow me On Here, but thanks for letting me be a part of the community back then.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

People only think sermons are political when the “politics” differ from their own.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

I know a lot of churchly folks have a lot more stress than I do this week. But man, the day before the day before Christmas is NOT the day to discover your child has a GI bug.

It is in fact quite fully a consistent Christian position to mourn that lack of Dylann Roof's commutation and the lionizing of Luigi Mangione while also deploring Roof's and United Healthcare's actions.

My lukewarm take is that I’m frustrated by outlets covering this and failing to account for the fact that shooting fatigue is a thing. We have been very culturally clear that we are not supposed to stay angry at school shootings. Let alone one adult man.

The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.

I dunno if this is just the introversion talking or what, but every time someone follows me, I get this feeling like, "Oh crap, another person is expecting me to say something nontrivial On Here," which is immediatly followed by an "Oh crap, I have nothing worth saying!" Anyone else? Or just me?

If your loved one goes to church, please call that church when they go into hospital or pass away. In many cases, they have friends who’ve loved them for decades who would appreciate knowing - and we might could be helpful!

Favorite thing I've read about the new Bonhoeffer film coming out this weekend: “This film’s relationship to the historical Bonhoeffer is the relationship of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to the historical Lincoln.”
