@jk_rowling Ever thought about writing baby books to intro the world of HP? My son’s nursery is HP & I can’t stand the idea of waiting til he’s older to read them to him. I’m thinking “Hedwig’s First Flight,” “Hedwig Finds Her Boy,” & “Hedwig Goes to School”...
I really REALLY can’t wait for the Trump rage tweet about Christianity Today calling for his removal because it’s going to be FASCINATING to watch Franklin Graham have to choose between defending the Trump he loves and the magazine his father founded.
Here's a fun fact:
"Calvinism" and "chauvinism" share the same etymology.
Both words are derived from a Latin word that means "bald."

Narrative theology: women lead, shepherd, and preach all over the scriptures.
Systematic theology: there's a chapter and verse that says women should stay silent.
The different ways we read the text.
Why do we emphasize championships so much? The #Dodgers have won 7 straight division titles and gone to back-to-back World Series. There's no official recognition for that, but it's more sustained excellence than any other team in the majors.
Paul makes both a theological and a sociological statement in Galatians 3:28:
"There is no longer Jew nor Greek, there is no longer slave nor free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."

There’s a lot said about what women should or shouldn’t do in the church. There’s also a lot said about what pregnant women should or shouldn’t do.
But today I baptized 5 people into the Family of God...while 8 months pregnant.
Thanks be to God! #pregnantpastor#Pregnantbaptism
Don’t read the Sermon on the Mount. Don’t do it. Don’t do it unless you’re ready to be pushed, pulled, stretched, and undone. Don’t do it unless you’re willing to turn an ear to Jesus as he pierces with the words, “...but I tell you..”
@revlaurelj I think what was keeping me back was being in the wrong environment. Once I found a truly supportive church & denomination, my physique didn’t matter.
I’m also always conscious to dress in a way that’s not distracting.
@EnoughLight@schelske@thomaslhorrocks Women’s bible studies for example - always at like 9.30am when many women are at work. It’s nice to offer one outside work hours too.
A young single mom signed up for my small group instead of the 1 close to her house. Why? "Because you & me are going through similar things right now with your baby coming."
When has a single mom ever said THAT to a pastor? This is why we need women pastors!
