@CatherineMcNiel Soooo fascinating! Also, I had no idea corporate offices could be so incredibly creepy — I don’t know enough about filmmaking to parse what they did, but the angles and lighting were simultaneously bland and terrifying.

@EllenisBusiness We broke our Jane Austen tradition and let Claire chose the name, so he’s Hershey! And yes, those ears!!!

@EllenisBusiness We got a friend for Knightley who would love to give you all the puppy kisses!

Last year, I organized my first Stations of the Cross, and I’m even more excited about what our Stations team at Savior put together this year. Definitely a high point in my Holy Week! If you’re local, stop by till 8 tonight, from 12-5 tomorrow, or on Friday between 1 and 3.

@heathermhoover I haven’t come across that! Googling now …

It’s starting to look like Holy Week! Now just hoping Saturday evening stays free of rain and snow for our observation of Liturgy of the Palms …

@AaronMHarrison I call heresy. You only have to look at the sky to know, beyond all doubt, that God loves Carolina best.

@AlyssaKayeB I started it last week and I’m loving it! I’m trying to read slowly, though, because it’s so good I don’t want to miss anything.

I know, I know. Not all middle-aged white dudes. But nearly every person I’ve ever see do this (at many, many cookie booths) is one, and even if they intend to give the girls a learning moment, it’s patronizing AF for girls and adult volunteers alike.

[Sarah Lindsay @drlindsay]

Dear middle-aged white dudes buying Girl Scout cookies (a PSA): please remember that they are kids learning skills, not performing for your gratification. Talk to the girls but pay attention to their comfort level and do NOT chide adults for supporting girls in their sales pitch.

[Sarah Lindsay @drlindsay]

@AlyssaKayeB Adding that to my TBR! In the opposite direction (ie comedy) have you read Dear Committee Members and the sequel The Shakespeare Requirement? Academic novels, so a bit niche, but also hilarious

@AlyssaKayeB Lear is my favorite tragedy and my family is from Iowa so I was hooked from the beginning, but it’s great. And brutal, because Lear.

[Sarah Lindsay @drlindsay]

@AlyssaKayeB A Thousand Acres, by Jane Smiley — a retelling of King Lear set in rural 1980s Iowa. Beautiful and brutal.

@bcastlemiller @bethfelkerjones Are either of you aware of https://t.co/rlC6MZ0zOE? They sell a lot of Japanese pens, and they’re my go-to site for fine tip pens. My current pen of choice is the Sakura Pigma Micron in .25mm (Uniball Signos were my gateway pen …).

TLDR version: don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Don’t cut people off from worship and community because they can’t participate in certain ways. And maybe even ask why we privilege certain ways of doing church community and wonder, who we are leaving out?

I’ve been wrestling with Tish Harrison Warren’s NYT op-ed, because I think she’s deeply wrong but also she gets enough hate already for just existing as a woman priest. So, a thread on what she misses by cutting people off from online connections with the body of Christ.

1/9

[Sarah Lindsay @drlindsay]

I’m with Tish that embodied worship matters, that there’s deep value in worshiping together, and even that streaming services can’t fully replicate communal worship. But why cut people off from communal worship just because they can’t be in a certain physical space?

8/9
