Miranda Gray

Personal tweets go here. The more business / tech tweets are over at @mirgray [I promise little to no overlap.]

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@nschonni Hmm. An old tweet but a goodies.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@FatherTim Probably the idea I will be a member of only one faith community. Yes, I will worship locally. But I won't return to longing for things that group can't provide.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@FatherTim The idea people can't have a coffee and a snack during the service (a local battleground issue here).

[David Sims @davidjamessims]

@RevSarahLocke Yes but how else could you do this?

(Excuse the 4 year old giggling in the background!) #zoom #church

@RevDaniel @Joi_the_Artist @neverthelessCS I want an Easter pageant. Not egg hunts but telling the resurrection / disbelief story. I'm imagining an excited Mary telling some very sad discplines and dragging them over.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@FatherTim An angel who really wanted to be a shepherd (gender conforming is big in that church)

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@CanEvange @RevDaniel The mystery visitor program is big in US church circles.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@RevDaniel Church camp Tshirt. Camp X where coming together is guaranteed.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@lura_groen We had several ineffables. I'm not a fan of church jargon.

[Lura Groen @lura_groen]

Expanding our images for God, even exploding our notions of God’s gender, means more than only adding in femininity, as important as that is.

[Nancy Cruz 🇲🇽 @Nancy_Cruises]

This letter to Santa broke my heart.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

I might need an edible or a nightguard to get through this meeting.

[Lura Groen @lura_groen]

A seminary classmate told us that giving sermons was the first time in her entire life that she could say what she wanted to say without being interrupted.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@agjorgenson Interesting.

[Lura Groen @lura_groen]

I want more lay people teaching seminary. Bc a) lay people serve the church too b) we need to hear the effect our pastoring has on people and c) it's more honest than requiring ordained seminary staff who had to pretend that their call was to parish ministry.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

Thanks, Pastor.

[Rev. Laura Everett @RevEverett]

Can I just highly recommend Psalm 85? Up in the lectionary this week, but man, speaks to the moment. Anger, weariness, hope, all. "Will you not revive us again, so that your people may rejoice in you?" and then at the end, a vision of abundance. So good. https://t.co/69ZpLowaWq

TFW you can tell by someone's tweets that they are hallucinating. (They're on heavy pain meds.) But you don't know where they are physically to have someone do a wellness check.

[Lura Groen @lura_groen]

Sometimes I’m jealous of toddler temper tantrums. Even more so when I feel so powerless in the world.

When just one more thing goes wrong, I’d love to just throw myself on the floor and wail. And have someone bigger and stronger come fix everything.

Self-regulation is hard.

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

This week has included: someone living with their abuser suddenly going silent on twitter for 24 hours, someone talking about ending their life and numerous people realizing they live in a covid hotspot. LHM and may the coming week be easier.

[Spirit Garage @SpiritGarage]

God's sows his seeds everywhere.
#God's word of #grace and #love can break through a closed heart. 💓

[Miranda Gray @mirgray2]

@pastorjomiller You may have friends who wish to speak out.

[Dr. Robin Mazumder 🇨🇦 @RobinMazumder]

If there are Black/Indigenous folks in KW who feel comfortable speaking about their experiences of racism in KW, send me a DM. I had a reporter reach out to me to ask about my experiences in KW. While I've had my fair share, I don't want to take up space or distract from BLM.
