For my ancestor, St. Olga of Kyiv.

The entire speech is worth a read, but especially the end. "Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair” overcome us when our country needs us the most."

"He burns with self-admiration and thinks: 'It is the fire of the love of God.' He thinks his own pride is the Holy Ghost." - Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

"It is a terrible thing when such a one gets the idea he is a prophet or a messenger of God or a man with a mission to reform the world…. He is capable of destroying religion and making the name of God odious to men." Merton, Thomas. New Seeds of Contemplation (p. 53).

Denounce him! I created this image and am granting free use as long as it is not modified. Yes, it's a very intentional play on "We have no king but Caesar." #churchsky #donotcomply

In her lifetime of ministry, Amanda Berry Smith traveled as a holiness evangelist in the U.S. and abroad in England, India and Africa. Smith's work inspired an expanded role for women in ministry, particularly in AME and Methodist churches. umcmission.org/celebrate-bl... #blackhistorymonth #BeUMC

I survived my DCOM interview today, near as I can tell (IYKYK). I am asking for prayers that I'm allowed to keep my current appointment. #BeUMC

@katastrophesue.bsky.social I miss Philly soft pretzels, Philly-made cheese steaks, and cheese fries from that little shop on State Street near the race track. Thank you for the follow.

Ok, I went back 6 days. I "think" I've followed back everyone. If you followed me and I missed you, please comment below.

Damn. Do none of you vet who you follow? 716 of you didn't

🧵 1/4This is a plea for help for the church I pastor. We get almost no local support in the county where we're located and only have one family from the immediate area attending. #BeUMC #UMC #leastofthese #radicallove #safespace

I definitely heard the drummer play a rim shot as B. Roll Benny pressed send.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, so I'm just gonna bang my head against the wall for a bit instead.

Good info for bluesky users:

To all those who followed me over the weekend, first, thank you; second, it was a heavy weekend for me as will be this week. Please be patient. I will vet and follow back as I can, but it will take a bit to get through it all. Peace be with you. #BeUMC
