Heads up, Space fans!! apnews.com/article/lyri...

oh dear lord these really are the worst people on the planet and should all be in prison for the rest of their lives and not sitting in the cabinet and i hate it here

Our Staff Meeting is better than your Staff Meeting. 🐕⚓️

My still incomplete list: tidal.com/playlist/42b... Gonna need to narrow it down a bit, I know, but maybe for my wake, I'll just have people do a hymn sing instead. ⚓

If you're wondering how to pray for our nation's leaders this week, they're reading through the Bible publicly (I know, I know, but hear Rebecca and I out): ⚓

@aer02.bsky.social Just checking in to see how things are going. I’m praying for you!

I really hate the way Bartlett treats Ellie in S2e15. #WestWing

I need to leave in 5 minutes, and yet… Happy Sunday! ⚓️

Me, remembering that I hadn't done the Youth Sunday School lesson before I left the office on Thursday, while on a trail in the forest:

Yup, same...

Y'all! I found a new option for our intentional community! ⚓

Fun fact: VA GOP is using President Obama's image on their mailers and saying that he opposes "gerrymandering" as proof that people should oppose the Democrats current attempt to right the districts to counteract what Republicans are doing all over the country to further gerrymander. Cheaters.

It was absolutely gorgeous here today so I headed for the forest. There’s a large pollinator garden at the entrance to the trail. The labeler of the flowers seems confused. The butterfly doesn’t seem to care. #TakeAHike

Our saving grace continues to be that the DOJ is being run by incompetent, very dumb people. And lawyers like Marc who are tirelessly and immediately filing suits to protect our right to elect new leaders.

My car is full of groceries from Aldi. I’m at Chipotle. I will not be the one to break the tradition of our ancestors.

I get to carry our church's banner for the new Bishop's Installation in June!! ⚓

Help a friend out? ⚓

Timeline Cleanse:

Sometimes good things do still happen.

I hadn't seen the rest of the clip in which he lies his face off about what's going on in Gaza, including that "more humanitarian aid" is getting there than "ever before". We have literally been actively blockading and withholding humanitarian aid since they took office.

This isn’t about righting a wrong. It’s about the next wrong they want them to do.

WARNING: Biblical Literalist literalling ahead.

I got huffed at by a deer this morning. In my own yard! (REALLY hoping it means she's about to give us a baby or two...)

This Sermon, mostly written by the Holy Spirit, if I'm honest, may go down as both my favorite, and the hardest I've ever preached. If you, like me, grew up Evangelical, I hope this will bless you, encourage you, and heal something within you. ⚓ www.youtube.com/live/q9VQcMl...

I wonder if JD can hear the bus coming or if it’s one of those quiet electric ones that sneak up on you?

It took 5 tries to finally get something written around 12:30AM. Went to bed frustrated. Got to work, tried to print it, and the printer wasn’t working. Fought with that too. Y’all. This ended up being the most vulnerable, Spirit-breathed sermon I’ve ever preached. Won’t She do it! ⚓️

Y'all, I am fighting tooth and nail for this sermon!! The fact that I'm writing it on Saturday afternoon is a big indicator that this one is NOT coming easy... Gah!! ⚓

Can you imagine not walking for 10 days, and the first steps you take are on a ship underway? Talk about needing to find your sea legs! Welcome home, Artemis II Crew! Thank you for taking us on the journey of a lifetime with you!

King Nebuchadnezzar watching the hatch open:

One of the Coast Guard vessels out in the water right now around the Integrity capsule is the Narwhal and sometimes, I do love my country. 😂

I like this feature of Firefox that allows me to have both of these tabs in the same window while I watch the Artemis II return!

"We've got a great view of the moon out the window. Looks a little smaller than yesterday". ~ Reid Wiseman "Guess we'll have to go back." ~ Jackie Mahaffey It's been so fun listening to her banter with the astronauts on Artemis II.

If you really want to nerd out on the Artemis II landing, you can also keep an eye on the ships and aircraft in the area ready to get the crew out of the water.

Kids! Hurry up and get your rooms cleaned! The Astronauts will be home in less than an hour! #ArtemisII

I feel like this is right up @aarontinsman.bsky.social's aisle...

Krispy Kreme has a Cheesecake donut. And Charlie loved it. 🤨😂

Youth Sunday School lessons done. Elementary Sunday School lesson done. Chapel lesson done. Now all I have to do is research and write my sermon. I appreciated this 2-day week on Monday and Tuesday when I hadn't yet realized what all I needed to get done, or that I'd be preaching this week... ⚓

You need this. Trust me. You just do: #ArtemisII www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

I am researching and writing a last-minute sermon, I do not have time for war today ok?

Too bad Vance is, conveniently, out of the country. Getting another country's dictator "reelected". Totally normal thing for the VP to be doing at any time, but especially right now.

Charlie is missing all of his upper teeth on the right side, including his fang, making for some absolute adorableness sometimes. 🥰 #TimelineCleanse

The New Fire has been lit. ⚓️

Oh, don't forget: It's Prince of Egypt Night! (If you're home at a decent hour. I may have to watch it tomorrow afternoon/evening instead.) ⚓

I traditionally get sick for Christmas Eve. Apparently, this year we’re adding Triduum… Cool. DayQuil on board. ⚓️

Why do they get to have all the fun?? apnews.com/article/new-...

Good Friday morning, walking Jesus’ final hours. Heritage Park, Blacksburg, VA ⚓️
