I don't think I'll ever get over that Mary was there when Jesus did something new in Cana, forging a new and better wine from water in jars, and was there once more in Jerusalem, when Jesus again forged something new—forged the best wine, flowing from his body instead of jars.

The core moral difference separating this generation from ones past is that people once professed a love for humanity while hating specific humans (those different from them especially) while this generation is able to care for people different from them but really hates humanity

I don’t understand people who like public transit.

How can you possible enjoy being stuck in a moving vehicle with people you don’t know? Ew.

@dvdpeters I was literally yelled at today by a parishioner during the literal announcements that I need to “pick shorter readings.” It was a journey

Call me a cold-hearted cynic, but I’m convinced some people write things on the internet that just aren’t true.

And no offense to Harvard, but Kushner strikes me as just about the densest person ever to operate at this kind of level. Diplomacy is nothing like business, much less peace.

Not to be too dramatic, but this way of thinking, which is incredibly widespread, is utter folly and will be the death of us all. A value-less society that thinks of everything in life as a puzzle will eventually be willing to go down the darkest of paths

@JoshuaPenduck Happy birthday, and blessings for the year ahead!

I may just be grumpy, but I find this stuff really depressing, and an indictment of American Christianity.

I get it. You’re a “casual” church, and you don’t really “do” Good Friday. But the absolute least you can do is schedule a *carnival* on literally any other day.

Whenever a new Anglican group is formed, I find Breakaway bingo to be helpful.

@thesarjane There’s a sermon illustration somewhere in there

Seeing all these major headlines about a “former prince” is triggering in this geriatric millennial unexpected memories of obscure, unpronounceable, symbols.

A little teaser for you. Next year, the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, the First Sunday in Lent, and President’s Day are all the same day/weekend.

We live in the absolute dumbest, greediest timeline. And the NFL is led by absolute morons.

@Make_it_Raines Micah 6:8 today! We love it so much (I preached on 1 Corinthians)

Happy “One Sunday when Episcopalians discover the Old Testament” to all of you who celebrate.

[Marco Gabriel Serrano @MarcoGSerrano]

It cannot be overstated how corrosive it is to the soul of the U.S. that to stay up on politics in 2026 is to regularly watch and analyze what are essentially snuff films.

My nation is much less great than it was ten years ago. No, it’s broken.

“For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have granted me the heritage of those who fear your Name.”

From Morning Prayer. That word, “heritage” hits different these days. A good reminder my primary loyalty is to God’s Kingdom, and bond with those who confess the name of Christ.

St. Lucy sheds a tear every time a knucklehead refers to today as the start of the 12 Days of Christmas

I moved to New Jersey two years ago today.

Biggest thing that’s surprised me: I’ve personally witnessed more car accidents these past years than the previous 40 (including 7 years in NYC) years COMBINED.

Spotify said my listening age was 81.
