Grateful my friends the Hovingtons (and everyone in Vienna) are safe - and super grateful the church provided a safe and healing space. The church isn’t always that for people but thanks for coming through this time.

Wondering if I can wear my Arsenal shirt under my vestments tomorrow as I lead worship. Too much? It is red which puts it in liturgically correct colors for Pentecost. Asking for a friend. 😎 #COYG

@coramdeo16_11 We can still be friends right? 😉

Grateful for some time in the land of the tulip combined with sand and dune grass and fresh water. ❤️

@lsinger Congrats Leif!

[Gretchen SchoonTanis @gst_phd]

Congratulations to @GranitXhaka34 for his Bundesliga victory - it provides a small glimmer of joy on a day when Arsenal stumbles. Once a Gooner always a Gooner!

@SkySportDE What’s up with the “game mode” camera angle for the Arsenal match today? It doesn’t give us close enough views of the action. Please change it. #ARSBRE

Different country.

Same outcome.

Couldn’t have said it better. 💞🙌

Loved working with @gst_phd & Ruth Lukabyo on our @IASYMOfficial paper & presentation. The caption for this photo should be something like 'the joy of collaboration & friendship'. Sums up so much of what makes https://t.co/N7tJXagviW such an amazing academic community.

[Robin Barfield @robinbarfield78]

Another fascinating paper @IASYMOfficial from @DrMarkScan @RLukabyo @gst_phd on the historical threads of YM in young life (US), Ivf (aus) and crusaders (uk) drawing out:
1. Charismatic leaders
2. Key kids
3. Fun
4. Wider influence
And what this means for the future

@ReligionProf My son wrote his IB extended essay on this very topic this year. Grateful even the international educational system is embracing this. 😁

@nathancjohnson8 Germany is a great place to be!

@MadisonPierce We’re not really fully decorated but I loosened my heart a bit and we’ve started. They don’t even know the gift I’m giving them. 😂😂😂

[Gretchen SchoonTanis @gst_phd]

Wait - for the last two games Kai Havertz has played left back for Deutschland. But he plays forward for @Arsenal? 🤔 Either Arteta is a super genius or he might have some things to think about in terms of player positions.

[Gretchen SchoonTanis @gst_phd]

@jschoon33 Absolute shambles.

One part of the tragedy unfolding in Israel/Gaza is a whole new generation of children traumatized, their brains and bodies struggling to survive, autonomically queued to fight mode… generational trauma with no seeming end… a gruesome cycle of violence.

Lord have mercy.
