Some of you remember me more as the kid in this photo than as a 39-year-old, and probably still picture me this way. To those of you for whom this is true, thanks for pouring into me and helping me to make it this far. For the rest of you: You're welcome, compliments of the 80's.
I'm most at home communicating my words in song, but I had the opportunity to preach again @gathering_now on Sunday and thought I would share it here as well. I hope you find these words to be meaningful, even though I'm definitely not singing them. https://t.co/bZSiDln4dk
Today I was commissioned as clergy in the #umc by @moumethodist . I have served in ministry @gathering_now for over 10 years & will continue to do so, now as an appointed Associate Pastor and Deacon. And I look forward to what lies ahead with great hope & anticipation. #moac22
While #playing Clue with my #family last night, I realized that #Clue accusations also make great #band names:

Scarlet Kitchen Knife
Plumb Conservatory Pistol
Mustard Study Candlestick
Peacock Ballroom Wrench
I mean… c’mon.
I got the call that I will be commissioned as clergy in the #UMC in June. I’m grateful for this affirmation of my work and call, and for this marker of God’s faithfulness… hopeful for what God will do, and grateful for what God has already done. And right now, that’s enough.
This Hebel turned 40 yesterday! How could it be?! Happy milestone Birthday to the very best of us. And you better believe we’re going to do some epic celebrating after the usual December mayhem is over. ❤️
Wesley experiences the world with a sense of awe, wonder, and exuberance that I am grateful to have in my life, and that I envy. And if the first two years are any indication, a lifetime of adventure & discovery surely awaits this little one. Happy birthday to my not-so-baby boy!
If you go to a church that doesn’t allow women pastors, rethink it. These beliefs undergird much of what is wrong with the way women are treated in wider culture.
