I’m absolutely certain I’m going to get called “political” for praying for Ukraine today, even though they’ve been on this prayer list since the beginning of the Russian invasion. As if this war suddenly became political Friday at noon.

“The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan” (cf.Lk 10:25-37), that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.”

It's been a while since I've posted anything to Meta platforms. I've had enough of the technocracy already, and it's only two full days in. So here's something: Barney's World on MAX is absolutely terrible and somehow Barney's voice is even more annoying than the Barney of my youth.

Had a procedure yesterday where clear liquid diet is required the day before. Everything was fine. But in the prep bed next to me there was a woman who ate a sandwich the day before and got reamed out by the doctor. She also said she smoked weed that morning. The prep sucked. Why risk doing it 2x?

What, you don't put on old WrestleManias to write your ordination paperwork?

The amount of people celebrating the death of the face of a health insurance company tells you exactly where we are right now as a country: broken morally, both in the sense of the celebration of death and in the empowerment of companies to be agents of death in the guise of health.

Exactly 1 year ago today, our Annual Conference held our special called session for disaffiliations. It was painful, and it was terrible to be a displaced pastor as a Provisional Elder, but God has also redeemed that and is still doing so. Hold space for both things to coexist: trauma and redemption

The thing about hope that I’ve really keyed in on lately is that hope is active resistance in itself, especially when the world is desperately selling despair. It takes a punk mindset to dare to hope. #hope

Just got emailed from a former parishioner that he thinks my pet loss grief (from September) is the devil setting up a stronghold in my life in the form of an idol. In case you were wondering why people are leaving the church, this is literally the reason.

I wrote this because I'm struggling with wanting to distance myself from "them" and yet othering and separation and echo-chambering (1) skirts my responsibility for the collective and (2) has not yielded the desired effects. Also, (3) it still might be necessary to protect sanity. #Exvangelical

After playing around here for a minute, this app is vastly superior to threads in just about every way. Starter packs and lists, as well as the ability to hashtag properly, and the algorithm is clearly better. Also, I haven’t gotten sucked in by 1/1765 thread stories. Big win.

Proud of this statement and those who are rolling up their sleeves to do the work of being faithful to our baptismal vows. Leggo.

Since this place apparently has the juice, as the kids say these days, I thought I'd create a United Methodist Starter Pack. Let me know who I need to add and feel free to share. #UnitedMethodist #UMC #BeUMC go.bsky.app/Uahe73C
