Life is the moments we share with the ones we love...my wife, my 3 kids, the people I serve along side in ministry #pastorlife #UMC

@jimgass I consider such feeling as being functionally dysfunctional.

[Sam Ward @Sam3Ward]

Beautiful read. I encourage you to take the time to contemplate as we enter into a new season, a time to renew our hope.

@hnkns The horrifying part is the the majority of people get their validation from Social media or other media that is often part of some made up reality already. The lack of human contact many have endured due a global pandemic has further escalated such validation needs.

I like to think grief is the price we pay for truly loving someone. And it’s worth every penny.

@jimgass Instead God is in the midst of those fighting for justice, and justice comes through constant persistent work.

[Sam Ward @Sam3Ward]

@jimgass The best understanding I can give is that Jesus was teaching the persistence of people of faith to peruse justice. It is a call to continue to do good and work for good even when it annoys everyone else. God is not the judge in the story who gives because of persistent prayer.

[Sam Ward @Sam3Ward]

@jimgass At times the community of Christ helps us grow in our faith. At times our faith grows beyond our community. It’s the latter that I have struggled most, but also grown the most.

@hnkns May be proof your getting too old for current tech. My boys 9 and 6 love the Apple TV remote. Especially the Siri butting to just tell it what they want to watch. I like the current design more than the silver sliver.

@umjeremy @wesleyancov Though I wonder what law suites they may face when they try to shorten “Global Methodist Church” to GMC. I’m pretty sure that’s already taken.

@CulturalSavage I’d have to go with:
Jesus Freak or Red Letters

Clergy confession: after yesterday evenings Ash Wednesday service I realize I can impose more appealing crosses with a cotton swab than with my fat thumbs.

@hnkns Not to mention every time a mask is washed it feels even tighter... or maybe it’s the Cheetos?

@hnkns If you survived 2020 ad, you have already experienced purgatory, strait to the pearly gates now.

Wonderful words from someone who understands the pain that can come from growing up in a broken world.

What do you do when the kids half-day, last day of school before break falls on your day off?

Us: Make a large breakfast of eggs, biscuits & gravy, bacon, fruit, hash browns. Enjoy it after school work is done, and watch Christmas movies the rest of the day!

@revbrberg Unsolicited answer: when you see behind the curtain, you become more aware of the sins of the elite. Being the son of a priest, John probably saw first hand the double standard that Jesus would later call out.

@joshuafrench Boys only wore them b/c the girls liked it... same as any reason ordinary guys have ever had any particular fashion. 😆
