@RevSarahLocke Oh, I forgot to take mine, I should take mine before my meetings.

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@TheJarell I'm not an every-week preacher, but when I was invited to preach the sunday after Thanksgiving the year I was heavily pregnant and it wasn't technically Advent yet, you'd better believe I made it an advent sermon anyway.

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor It's sometimes such a balancing act between finding someone who "gets it" without having to explain every detail, and finding someone who aligns in terms of approach to therapy and ethics. Like, I'll take a secular therapist over a "biblical" therapist, thank you.

@bellabee13 An entirely new platform is like the first day at a new school, like, who do I already know here, how do I make a good first impression? What in the world do I post?!

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@tworsandtwols Are there any that play off of the "Taylor Swift is next door" thing?

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@EdmondsPolice What happens to the guns that are turned in, are they decommissioned or resold?

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor Have you heard Bishop Talbert's sermon on Biblical Obedience and Ecclesial Disobedience?

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@jnicolemorgan With or without a suspiciously high murder rate?

@bellabee13 As of today, no boycott has been called for, so continue consuming media. But it is important for people who are big(ger) on social media to know to say no to invites to do things that are essentially scabbing, like attending movie premieres (since SAG members can't)

@theodramatist Never missing a chance to throw this guy under the bus: the pastor was a friend of my parents, and greeted me at the door, invited me to join the church AND a committee, and then used me as part of a sermon illustration without asking. On my first visit.

@snarkbat There was tiktok sound a while ago about selling cats' feet pictures to pay for their lavish lifestyle. Anyway, It's a good thing that dog is cute, and maybe they need to be put to work.

@GenZPastor I cope by making an apple pie and having election returns watching parties in lieu of actual birthday parties.

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor Hello early november birthday friend. It is a particular joy/sorrow to hold. (Mine is November 8, so I've been burned a couple times with either the election itself or with waking up birthday morning to it being called)

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor Also unsweetened iced tea with juice or fruit

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor I’m rediscovering my love of the “shrub and soda” genre of mocktail. It’s tangy and usually fruity, and really nice for summertime!

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@AlexaEisenbarth @bgillie1 Oh those hospital socks!

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@subtle_mullet I hear they're usually pretty desperate for school bus drivers and substitute teachers, but ... yeah.

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@GenZPastor I'm so impressed by your organization and pre-work on these papers! I almost never got down to the actual writing of mine until about a month before they were due 😅

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

@hankgreen I absolutely treasured the opportunity to visit about *other things*. Like, sure, check in on how I'm feeling, but also let's gossip about work or celebrity drama. Something to retain a sense of self that's not just overtaken by being in the hospital.

[Rev. Mary Stanton-Nurse @ssmary]

I love my Spotify recommendations except that every recommended playlist gets about four songs in on-theme before it turns into “music your 4yo constantly requests”
