Word nerds, writing community, women in male dominated fields, progressive Christians, folks who want a real look into the pastor life, and people unbothered by this pastor's potty mouth, you can read what I'm writing on Substack. Here's the link: https://t.co/WjtXakdiKR
So @Walmart are you regularly in the business of putting grocery items in people's online carts, refusing to removing them even though you are contacted about the issue, charging the customer for them and telling the customer they have to call back to get a refund?
We burned the palms today for Ash Wednesday. My hair smells like smoke and I want it to stay that way. What fast will we choose this Lent? Read more here: https://t.co/gXIWhSxQHA
Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires.
We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
It's Saturday night. End of the week. Next week will be a lot.
Where did you see hope this week? Did you look? Let's keep looking. Let's keep telling one another about it.
It's one way we get through.
A thing happened last month that made me think about kindness, compassion, and how pastors are pastors whether we're leading worship or grocery shopping. Read When a Stranger is Crying in Your Arms: the practice of compassion and para-social relationships https://t.co/rPZelQ4sJs
I decided to list some shoes on Poshmark. Over the course of 10 days, I've gotten over 4300 followers. This is not what literary agents meant when they said, "Grow your platform."
It's Friday and it's been a hard, hard week. In the midst of it all, where did you see hope? Did you look? We have to keep looking and telling about it.
Think about your legacy, what you leave behind, and how your life will live on in others. Although this story is on a scripture blog, it will resonate regardless of religion.

As I have said here before, Dial-a-Carol, a UIUC tradition since 1960, is my favorite thing. We just called, requested Good King Wenceslaus, and they sang it IN FOUR PART HARMONY. I'm beside myself with joy. Call now: 217-332-1882
It’s a broken society that loves its guns so much that it refuses to alter its relationship with them even for the sake of its children.
It’s a broken Christianity that not only sees nothing wrong with our society’s unholy love of guns but supports it.
Gun violence is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for children and teens in the US.
Not car crashes. Not cancer. It's guns.
Schools should be sites of learning for our kids, not centers of carnage.
You cannot insist that the baby in a manger was a gift while claiming a baby on welfare is a burden.
You cannot praise the family who fled political violence into Egypt while condemning a family who flees political violence into America.
