Me and my works righteousness

all this skincare & I’m still going to have to die

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Inspo: “Let the dead bury their own dead” isn’t Jesus being an edgelord for the likes. He’s setting us free from convention, from expectation and obligation to be free to serve him and all creation out of love and desire and not because we just have to #dailyoffice

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Inspo: Freedom never dies. It builds generation to generation - trauma’s opposite.

Moses died in sight of freedom; Joshua entered it. So be strong and courageous. Meditate on it day and night and be fearless - God meditates on us.

Joshua 1:1-9

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Inspo: I read this morning that God promised Moses at Mt. Horeb that after all his work was done, he would worship on that mountain.

I expect that God works so with all of us. The wilderness we wander today will become our altar of praise before the end.

Exodus 3:1-12

Maybe the transfiguration isn’t about finding God on the mountaintop but going to the height and discovering that the one who has taken you with him all along is God

The valley where we live our lives isn’t the arena of God’s absence, but God’s hiddenness in our midst

@magikarpolycarp You have to go to seminary for *four* years to learn this actually

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Protestant Bibles actually leave out the verse where at the Last Supper Jesus placed the bread on the disciples’ tongues except for Judas Iscariot who took it in the hand and intincted

Spent some time with a few of my fellow Kansas Citians today

That menswear guy Twitter keeps showing me: athletic shoes ruin classic outfits

Me, wearing dress shoes as I run around the hospital, feet throbbing: Whatever you say, sir!

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

@grissom_preston It’s crazy how that works!

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Every time I pray morning prayer I’m full of anticipation to see what psalm is assigned for the day and it’s always Psalm 45

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

I may not have a high anthropology, but one thing that’s odd about low anthropology is the glorying in how sinful humans are, as if God gets bigger the more powerful sin is over humanity

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Wishing @KaraNSlade a wonderful and happy birthday!

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

The only piece of advice to people taking GOEs that I can give as a GOE veteran is that sometimes you can do everything right and get knocked out on a technicality. IME the diocese should have your back in that scenario

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Made the mistake of trying to round on my hospital unit with the Chiefs game on. Much more important things afoot than a chat with the interloping chaplain

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Officially halfway through CPE! Celebrating by being on call.

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Not liking it or hating it, but a secret third thing

Oh, I guess that’s just ignoring the post I don’t like

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

@Justinb1972 Thanks!

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Merry Christmas everyone! Got to be a part of Christ’s being with us as subdeacon tonight

[Brandon Smee @bsmee1]

Is it just me or is seeing views making Twitter feel even more like a roiling ocean of indifference and selective outrage?
