@awfulannouncing So Pete Maravich wasn’t great? Silly

Was able to travel to Kenya recently for the opening of a clinic in Namanga. Here’s a recap of the delightful - and challenging - trip. https://t.co/2KeF4wS5KZ

@laurambarringer Who even is that?

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@aprilfiet Because the solution for everything is to pour Jesusjuice on it.

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@revdpalacios No. Because he hates the “right people.”

@TheFive @DanaPerino @HillaryClinton @realDonaldTrump You have heard that DJT was found liable for sexual assault nd defamation today, right? A former president, and you have virtually nothing to say about him? What a pack of sniveling cowards.

@ParentMood Turn out all 3 kids were biologically related. Now you don’t have to scroll through pages of useless information. You’re welcome.

That a courtroom rather than the edge of the Red Sea became the assumed “setting” behind western Christianity’s understanding of the meaning of the cross is the grossest error n the history of Christianity. (Let the ”courtroom“ be midrash. Only.)

@chrislhayes Makes no difference what he means. He will construe it as “I meant he is committing political suicide.” And that seems to be a pretty straightforward read, whether or not you approve of the guy (or anything about him).

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@noah_livingston I don’t know what this means. Could you describe what it looks like? Thanks.

@_nomadic_soul How much for these? Or google any other “ugly feet” pics https://t.co/GsTRYoNoui

@MJvanMaastricht @getmecoffeestat I learned in college that “for all intensive purposes” was not a real thing.

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@MJvanMaastricht I try. And, I have two doors. Visitors are more likely to go out the much-less-trafficked door. It’s a strange dynamic. Don’t like it. Always did a good deal of “intuitive” pastoral care at the door doing handshakes.

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@laurenboebert How does that even make logical sense? Why would they?

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@aprilfiet Long as your nap doesn’t inspire a nap, it’s all good. (Though some people genuinely need a nap when they show up in church, so there’s that.)

@aprilfiet Do you dare to write a sermon? Or do you dare to eat a peach?

What we may lack is the sense of neighborliness. Scariest thing about the last 40yrs is the ascension of the libertarian idea that the individual matters far more than the society the individual inhabits. - Bill McKibben Cross Flag Station Wagon

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

@aprilfiet @Amy_Odland Oh, but there is a word, and you will slap your forehead when you see it. Just go through the alphabet, one at a time, for that first letter.

[paul janssen @urcpastor]

Preachers who find one useable quote worth the price of a book: Mc Kibben’s “The Flag and the Cross and the Station Wagon” is a goldmine.
