@AndrewCheyne @ScottSwansonEC I'm sure you made up for it with 2nd grade humor 🤣

Theologian brothers, happy Trinity Sunday. Let's all try to remember this is not a Sunday of lording our degrees and books over others - but to gather together in the humility of a mystery none of us can truly comprehend.

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

@ScottSwansonEC Just not on Trinity Sunday 🤣

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

@AndrewCheyne It was such an awkward talk too. 🤣

God didnt make me a rich man because He knew I would spend it all tattooing song lyrics on my body.

This post has been canceled due to the Holy Spirit's wisdom. The flesh wants to say somethin' but I'm gonna yield this time.

Here's a "duh" that I suggest you think more deeply about: Christianity is not Islam.

@henry_lgl_long @TheDonStein 'Cause those dudes coming out of Sem don't have enough on their plates already...

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

@TheDonStein I'd be interested in the data on the "market realities" here, e.g. congregation ability to pay, organist expectations, number of churches that have gone to "SOS" or other AI-ish "organists" due to shortage. Might be interesting (frightening?) to project for other church work

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

@HansFiene I think the last set of these were held right around Christ the King Sunday. It's interesting liturgical juxtaposition if nothing else.

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

@MappingFL Hah. Did the dude in the middle really just say "So true, King?" I'm just going to imagine him saying "slay Queen..." What a bunch of morons, and I can say that apparently, 'cause I'm a dude.

I feel like someone had promised me that vocational ministry was going to be a lot more punk rock than it turned out to be so far.

It is indeed a privilege to be in a church body where at 47, you're still a part of the "younger generation"

My wife has a very different algorithm from mine. The difference in what we saw on each of our phones about the latest Milwaukee shooting is troubling. Regardless of political side, "news" should not differ this much.

Four words that prove that something in college football is broken: Indiana, College Football Champions

If there is anything hopeful that I can say about our current age, it is that I'm looking forward to the revival of punk music that must surely be coming.

[Jay Winters @jwinterscom]

Lutherans are so committed to faith instead of works that they will have place lots of faith in the idea that right format of worship (either side) will bring people to Jesus rather than working to bring those people to Jesus in conversation and love. #snark

Me before Christmas Eve: These Santa and Elf-shelf things are just manipulative ploys to extort phony moral behavior out of children.
Also me, on Christmas Eve: Why, oh why, did we teach the kids the truth about Santa and the Elf?!?!?
