How we understand our own identity shapes our political theology. We should absolutely be having conversations about policy, but we have to do it from a grounded place of knowing who God is and who we are as members of God's household. @kaitlynschiess, 🎙️Holy Post 635
Keith had to take me to an appointment this morning before I got to work so I told him I’d take him to breakfast right afterwards. This is the conversation that ensued. If you’re a Californian, please forgive born and bred Texans. They know not what they do.
@KaitlynSchiess@M_Y_Emerson Your info on the harrowing of hell was studied in our small group months ago, it was insightful and a blessing, thank you for that!
@MarriottIntl@Marriott so your Paris Renaissance hotel is the only one in the world of your hotel chain that doesn’t have distilled water available for your guests with medical equipment? Even if a request was made well in advance? Fascinating.
@BethMooreLPM All. The. Yes! Sat at your feet soaking it all in when you had a weekend conference with Kay Arthur in TN- pre-2005! Still savoring the learning and love- ❤️
@KaitlynSchiess Pre ordered a while ago and eagerly awaiting arrival! I want you to know that our church community group used a book you had recommended as a read on Twitter for our discussion on Christians and politics last night- you keep it up! ❤️
@BethMooreLPM Danced on the edge of this bit of crazy and went to a basic seminar in 1992. Shook my head at some of their thought patterns and stayed on the outside. Binged the documentary yesterday and am glad we didn’t fall into the trap completely. Grace is an amazing thing.
Religious fundamentalism that holds girls & women responsible for protecting the boys & men from sin is a shelter for predators of the worst kind. It is inevitably criminal & an insult to true religion & to the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, with whom children were SAFE.
I’m going to need to discuss this shiny happy people documentary and the Bill Gothard piece at some point when i find my lady like words. When I was a young mom, many of the peer families we knew were getting neck deep in BG events & materials. Couldn’t do it. He made my skin crawl. For one thing, I don’t trust heavy duty fundies pushing & policing girls’ purity. That’s a NOPE. In my view, that’s not for protection. That for training predators and grooming prey.
Ted & Beard’s backstory gives SO MUCH CONTEXT to Beard’s character and their friendship. @brendanhunting was absolutely stunning in this scene and I cannot wait to rewatch all three seasons knowing all this #tedlasso
@seatank@illinoissailor I asked him the same thing and he replied that apparently infrequent travelers are now using TSA pre status and mucking up the formerly wonderful line speed with a lack of how to experience.
@courtneyellis Here are two of my most recent reads that are deep and wonderful. @KaitlynSchiess would have a fantastic list for a new bookstore that would rock!!
