I’m married to a pastor, work closely with pastors, & have many church work friends.

It’s hard to explain the toll this year has taken on those in ministry.

This does.

Not that this year hasn’t been hard on everyone—but those of us who shepherd have been burdened greatly.

@Rachel_Mary_ so does my mom

For God so loved this completely insane world of fruitcakes that He sent His one and only Son.

@ConcordForge My congregation is contemplating buying them in bulk to send out to our Sunday school tots on their baptismal birthday 😉 so keep them in the store!

I almost did a spit take with my coffee reading this.

Father Abraham had many sons
Many sons had father Abraham
I am one of them
And so are you
So let's all be united as one family across boundaries of time and space by confessing that Jesus Christ is the Messiah promised to Abraham in the covenant of circumcision.

@HansFiene Probably drinks bad black coffee, but is smug about it.

Urban myths point to our own U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln, inventing the groutfit.

yes, sharks can outswim you. but you can outrun sharks. so far in a triathlon you’re square. all comes down to who’s the faster cyclist

@JenFruend (and anyway — you already know this but a reminder never hurts — your identity is rooted in something much bigger than biology or education, and that’s what REALLY defines who you are ❤️ and nothing anyone says can change that!)

[dana otto @dce_dotto]

@JenFruend Look, I don’t know many biologists, but I do know lots of educators — and you are at the top of all the charts in my book. You made a significant impact on me as an individual as a biologist/educator. So tell that guy to suck a duck, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about!

Shh… The pancake is sleeping.

[dana otto @dce_dotto]

@botheredbybugs Sometimes I think about that video you made me with the dog that says “he is soft and warm like mashed potatoe” flashing you the beat of Sandstorm and I get uncontrollably giddy so you’ve got that going for you at least

[Denny’s @DennysDiner]

We offer both smoothies and gritties.

hello I need to prove a point. do you rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth

[dana otto @dce_dotto]

@brand_emma but do you eat it with or without the wrapper

[Denny’s @DennysDiner]

Shh… The pancake is sleeping.
