@TheDonStein Only if we can split them 😂

@TheDonStein Penny is a true wordsmith.

@TheDonStein I agree that they logically have to be Lutheran, but are they actually *canonically* Lutheran?

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein And Iowa to Casey's. This nonsense is the actual steal.

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein Probably not, but if there is, it's the same thing happening at a little country church with 20 people singing their heart out.

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein Throw a steeple or two on that bad boys and you'd have quite a picture.

@TheDonStein BOOOO. Nobody MAKES anybody polka. Polka is a delight, and a treasure. Honestly the likelihood of my coming over to your denomination just decreased significantly upon learning polka is no longer a feature.

@TheDonStein Show me the movie or television character you wanted to be growing up vs. the one you became:

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

Promises to maintain the protestant reformed religion.*

*At church service where he, his wife, and like 3 bishops receive communion while everybody else just watches.

But what we *can* say, with authority, is that the masculine manly-man Jesus isn't reconcilable with how His story is very intentionally depicted in the Gospels: beginning and concluding with helplessness, dependence, surrender. He is the God of those who need help and know it

[The Mountain Goats @mountain_goats]

gotta do a little preaching on a thing I keep thinking about, be warned this is one of them God-bothering THREADs

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein It’s what happens when they let Methodists name a town.

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein Nice! I wore a hand-me-down alb for all of the supply I did in seminary, a year as a vicar, and the first 4+ years as a pastor.

I understand that the King asked for this poem by ⁦@malcolmguite⁩ to be read at the Royal Carol Service. It deserves to be read everywhere this Christmas.

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein Well, yeah. That’s almost like a tautology isn’t it?

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

@TheDonStein You should know you missed out on an incredibly exciting day of sports because of your totally irrational dislike of soccer.

[Will Layton @WJLayton]

I think it’s hardly fair that we have to play against a team wearing wooden shoes.
