A MODEST PROPOSAL: We turn our clocks forward on Sunday and then never mess with them ever again.

Forever.

My senior year of high school my teacher laughed at me when I told him I was going to be a lawyer. Today I was accepted to law school with a $15,000 scholarship, so I emailed him.

What if the church were filled with unmarried people but had no “single” people, because married and unmarried people were as family to one another—surrogate brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and sons and daughters to the rest of the church?

@RitterChris Have you seen this?

[GNJUMC @GNJUMC]

A working draft of a new Book of Discipline has been developed by a group of GNJ leaders with a vision to bring it before the 2020 General Conference. Read the letter sent to clergy and lay members of GNJ. #UMC https://t.co/7SxUBEhyos

Pro tip: if the tweet starts “UMC announces plans to...”, ignore the outlet. If “UMC leaders announce plan to...”, read skeptically. If “leaders of groups/bishops”, you’re *probably* on safer footing.

This is a friendly reminder that mainstream media outlets who had to google what a General Conference is this morning are generally not the best sources for #UMC news/analysis.

@RitterChris Any word on what would happen to the other 3%?

“Dear married people: one of the greatest gifts you can offer your single friends is an invitation to be a part of your family. Save them a seat at the table, remember them on holidays, invite them to make a post-dinner ice cream run with your kids...” https://t.co/PTUgvLf2Bm

Last Saturday night, I went to a live pro wrestling event at a small-town rec center with poor A/C, then spent four days at UM Annual Conference in a state-of-the-art convention center. You know, I really enjoyed the pro wrestling event.

If you haven’t watched “Chernobyl” on HBO, watch it ASAP.

Horrifying.

And maybe the best thing I’ve ever watched on TV. It’s that good.

We are called to be peacemakers, but pursing peace will not make us feel peace, but pain - Bishop Nunn #okumc19

@ShaneRaynor I would watch this.

The first time I was introduced to a computer was at @UMC_UMCOR refugee center during the Bosnian war. It was my favorite getaway shelter for hiding from snipers and bombs. I learned MSDOS at age 4 and developed a passion for computers and IT.
