@SurvivingGrady In my apartment in my first year of seminary, my dad on the phone. Trying to not scream because I realized my parent's cable feed was three seconds behind mine.

Americans weekly consume 100,000 words, the equivalent of two books via snacking on social media, blogs, and cable news.

The Church doesn't need to produce and proliferate more information, it needs an immersion in discipleship.

@CharlesPPierce As a Boston Bruins fan from birth, my father told me there is only one city you cannot go to to cheer them on. Some of the best advice from father to son.

Today is the FIRST occurrence of this year’s failures for the #nhl. After four perfectly acceptable #nhlbruins games on ESPNplus, I cannot even get access to a radio broadcast due to the incompetence of the league and its broadcast contracts. Bettman deserves the boos!

Regular reminder that becoming a man is about growing out of boyhood, not rejecting womanhood.

(Which might explain why folks who frame manhood as "not being women" often act in such childish ways.)

@JustinHasAnIdea @RevJonBarrett It’s specifically teaching the ways and words of Jesus. And it’s difficult because people today prefer to address their felt needs, or be entertained or motivated. The way of Jesus can be hard.

“Showing up at church once a week and saying a hearty Amen is a lot easier than engaging in a life of daily prayer and Scripture meditation that develops into concern for poverty and injustice, hunger and war.”

@revlucymeg Especially after the, "but wait, I had a vision! It will be ok"

Let's not encourage people to "try psychedelics" unless you know for sure they are not in recovery- I know other addicts who took that path and then relapsed. It's a potentially life threatening gamble to take that is OPTIONAL when other solutions for healing are available.

@bostonsportsinf Just in time for the Bruins to start!

@revjoess I just need something to get me to hockey season. I saw your posts yesterday about the Arsenal game and thought I'd be able to use my NBC app, but it keeps jumping me to a West Ham game. Just 10 more days till the ice takes over

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

Grrr.NHL won't show any preseason games. Premier league app won't let me watch Arsenal replay. Stuck watching NFL (not a fan). Terrible Sunday night.

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

@revjoess I take it this is European soccer and not some new development for Sam.

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

@revlucymeg This must get into the vestry minutes. Imagine a future person reading through them…

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

Hey...that's me!

[Constitution and Canons No Context @ccnocontextbot]

Adult baptism.

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

@nurya Me too! I shudder to imagine how this would be interpreted, but there should be workshops at major conventions where adult baptized leaders in the church could get together for networking and reflection. I remember how rare I was in my seminary class...

@KaraNSlade @smarcorodriguez As a Pennsylvanian by calling, I appreciate this comment.

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

Reading a chapter a day of R.W.Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass. If your heart yearns for support in loving the created world around you, read a chapter of this and be nourished.

[Matthew Scott @msrev2007]

@JStein_WaPo Ministry sometimes brings a moment to chuckle. COVID kept us from ordering communion wine for the last couple years, and now with limited staff I got to be the one to call. Discovered that our communion wine is a local product called "Bigfoot Shadows". Teehee.
