@RHackenberg My household only beat you by a few days 😀

@revfemme 42, and I have cried my eyes out during it many times

@miriamjayne How about 24/6 by Tiffany Schlain?

[Nicole Pickens @PickensComm]

@therevallison Simple bean dip ... 1 can refried beans, a few tbsp salsa, microwave a few minutes. When warmed and softened, add spices, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, pepper, etc, to taste, then add shredded cheese on top and microwave until cheese is melted. Serve with tortilla chips.

@therevallison You brood of vipers! Who told you to flee from the collapse to come?

It would be cool if just once they framed it like “billionaire rail owners refuse to give people sick days, so workers voted against a tentative contract…”

Everytime you get a gray hair remember that one of your stem cells was like, "the working conditions here are awful and I'm done," and you should respect that, from a labor perspective.

[KSBD Amazon Teamsters @ieamazonworkers]

BIG NEWS📢 We’re going on strike this Fri, Oct. 14!

We're organizing to improve our jobs & Amazon has responded w/ intimidation, threats & retaliation. We gave @amazon until Oct. 10 to meet our demands & they failed.

Now it's time to #PayUpAmazon! #AmazonStrike #IEAmazonWorkers

@JesusOfNaz316 Jesus, take the day off (yay, sabbath!)

[Nicole Pickens @PickensComm]

@WilGafney I made a point of not doing that. Grateful to scholars like you and Amy-Jill Levine whose work has helped me know better.

@therevallison Yours Is the Glory, Resurrected One ... an updated translation of the one usually sung in English as Thine Is the Glory, Risen Conquering Son

@therevallison Life unconstrained by fears or pains of scarcity. Wellness and wholeness.

@therevallison In addition to good stuff already named, I like Christian Century's lectionary reflections.

@VABVOX I do not think the pandemic is over. For masking, it depends. Our regional numbers are low right now, so in smaller gatherings with trusted people I might not mask, but I still wear a mask in crowded stores. When numbers go back up again, I will mask in public all the time.

@UnvirtuousAbbey For a warm blanket kind of hymn, I like Fanny Crosby's "He Hideth My Life." I grew up singing it, and I love that image.

[Nicole Pickens @PickensComm]

@therevallison That's very worth celebrating 🥳

[Nicole Pickens @PickensComm]

@meg_mercury @evan_wel It makes such a difference ... I didn't realize how bad it was that my pastor brought railroad spikes and 2" thorns to my pre-teen Sun school until my seminary prof was shocked.

@TheologicalDino I didn't realize you were a fellow journalism alum. Sure was an interesting transition back to academic writing for me. Blessings on the rest of the thesis writing!

@tcburkejr @therevallison Seriously, though, why should pastors not get 2 days off a week?
