Gone with the Muppets

Why not? Such a good boy!

Amén. This.

We should all watch this… and make sure everyone we know watches this.

I had some things to say t the diocese today…

This trophy looks like the statue in Harry Potter that shows wizards subjugating elves and dwarves… the hands crying out for peace crushed together by the world/football. Which is kind of on brand for FIFA, if unintentional.

Psalm 102 was a moment this morning: “He will look with favor on the prayer of the homeless; * he will not despise their plea. Let this be written for a future generation, * so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord.”

Life of the episcopate.

This is stupid, of course. But it’s also a religious claim. These guys are confecting a religion and I think it’s worth taking seriously as such. Unfortunately my dissertation involved this.🧵

This game is insane. #worldseries

Yesterday was a blessing and joy.. so happy to be making our vows after many years of friendship and love. To the future!

Arizona weather is bizarre. Dust storm (haboob) followed by pouring rain is our monsoon pattern. (Not my photo… but what a shot!)

“We are now being faced…/with a series of choices between the demands of the federal government and the teachings of Jesus, and that is no choice at all.”

Grateful to have the opportunity to sign on to this, along with my local Roman Catholic bishop

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father;

Speaking up for justice!!

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit.

Apropos of nothing, “Schadenfreude” from Avenue Q is a really good song…

I finally watched Conclave. I like that Ralph Fiennes has the same energy as Kermit the Frog trying to keep The Muppet Show from going off the rails.

So grateful for Bishop Sally French, the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, and Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, NJ, for their efforts to try to offer compassion and care in their community. I’m praying they are able to offer this shelter for our neighbors. ⚓️ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/n...

Wow. Slava Ukraini.

How am I coping with everything? By playing in a pickleball league! It’s championship night… go Big Dills!

A full house at LCM-Canterbury tonight to install Pastor Mike as their chaplain. Wonderfully Beloved!

The middle sentence of the collect for Agatha of Sicily slaps: “Grant us for the love of you to make no peace with oppression, to fear no adversity, and to have no tolerance for those who would use their power to abuse or exploit.”

My first ride in a WAYMO. This is so weird and unsettling.

Day off: did my taxes, made medical appointments for family, and called my senators and representative. Time for trivia tonight!
