You're invited to 1st Presbyterian at 11 for a UNIQUE kids' time, a FUN announcement, and a SPECIAL goodbye. Unique, fun, and special - just like you!I hope to see you there. Starbuck won't be there; she's playing hide and seek with Bo, and can't find him. HINT: He's hiding behind that little tree.

Everybody, everywhere.

Republicans used to pretend to be job creators and now they're just like "NO JOB FOR YOU" Yet another thing they've adopted from the Nazis.

When John Lennon wrote “Imagine no possessions” he was a millionaire living in his multi-million-dollar estate.

99% of "Christian" movies or shows suck & depicts a revolting form of "Christianity." I'm developing a rubric to help ppl be wise theological consumers; to reject junk like Left Behind but appreciate gems like Les Mis or LOTR. What would you add to this rubric?

Starbuck asked me to checking in on y'all and remind you: the madness oozing from the Oval Office is dangerous and vile; do NOT let it wear you down or erode your hope. You are still a person of energy, intelligence, imagination, and love. Find your sunbeam and refuel.

I hope y'all will join us for my ongoing sermon series through the Gospel of Luke. If you're curious, the passages I'll be preaching on are pasted below. I chose them because they are either only in Luke, or appear are in Luke differently than in the other Gospels.

1/2 Fairbanksans gathered yesterday to ask their Congressman what he plans to do to protect their jobs and freedoms during this hostile government takeover. Here's what Nick Begich had to say: #Alaskasky, #NoKing, #Fairbanks

Trump would only rename McKinley "Nal," because that's Denali without the DEI.

SAVE MONEY THE ELON WAY! I have cut waste in my budget by: - Cutting all payments to the electric company - No longer purchasing food - Laying off my children the future's so bright I gotta borrow shades

The word POLITICS doesn’t appear in the Bible, though there are lots off words related to politics, like Government, Authorities, Lasciviousness, Abomination, and Weeping & Gnashing of Teeth. 1/11

You're invited to join us at 1st Presbyterian Church of Anchorage at 11! I'm very happy to share that the fireplace is repaired so there is an added sense of warmth and welcome, and I reckon the word could use that right about now. Bo and Starbuck won't be there; they're dreaming about Maui.

Here's something I wrote for the paper. I'm grateful to the many clergy and church folks who signed on. There were more who agree with the statements but who didn't get in before I sent it to the paper. www.adn.com/opinions/202...

I just got WD-40 in my eye. It stung a bit, but on the upside, I am blinking SO smoothly.

Here's a reminder of who to be: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQQd...

Anyone can do it

Do you have a name for your car? What is it and why? My 2011 Prius is named Ziggy, bc it zigs and zags through traffic & bc its vibe is a combo of Ziggy Stardust & the handheld device from Quantum Leap.

After preaching yet again about diversity & inclusion in the Gospel of Luke, I asked the congregation, “Does it sound like I’m commenting on current events?” Because it totally sounded like that. 1/4

Sunday's sermon title is “We’re on a mission from God.” So this had to happen.

This isn't a review of the show (I haven't watched it), it's a description of my FB friends' reactions.

You're invited to First Presbyterian Church of Anchorage, where we'll have LOTS going on this morning... We'll hear music from the bell choir, ordain new elders and deacons, and have a special fun speedy delivery in the kids time.

Yes yes yes. Written statements are good, but we must back them up with actions that impede the wheels of tyranny from turning. For my non-churchy pals, "Confess" here means "proclaim our beliefs." It's a different usage than "admit wrongdoings."
