Sabbath Sign Out: pear 🍐 and Gorgonzola on a baguette 🥖 and we watch #ArtemisII descend to the earth 🌏 and awe at the moon 🌖. Bless all who travel and return home. We all deserve rest. Lay it down. Even the sun sets.

Every one a beloved child of God.

Praying on Easter Friday with Luke 24: Let us pray 🙏- “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” Because death is so near, O Lord? It is so hard to trust the rising. Gather me again with the myrrh-bearing women who go to the tomb in every generation. Help me remember what You told us of life.

My baking is ecumenically flexible. Setting up Armenian Choreg for Pascha on Sunday with my friend Seta’s mother’s recipe that has that “o you’ll know” feel. 3lb flour and enough malheb until it tastes good. I’ll use this until @wordloaf.org new book is out.

None of which are Boston, Cathy.

A man who claims to be Christian who is currently president of the United States is sharing videos of another child of God being murdered.

Hey, so just a reminder that (if the video makes it over here), you can always stop videos from automatically playing but you have to turn it on in every instance you actually log on (which needs to be fixed @support.bsky.team). I would definitely turn it on

If Margaret “Midge” Purce isn’t on the #Harvard Ballot for the Board of Overseers, I’m not voting. #NWSL #USWNT

My apologies to my #Orthodox Christian friends who are in the thick of your #HolyWeek, but I’m eating my Easter Lamb Moroccan Tangine leftovers and they are fabulous.

First tennis of the season in #Boston, even though it’s 45F. Every court is full. Grateful for the lights.

Am I purchasing the “purple rain” tomatoes solely because of their names? Yes. You can to, #Boston shopthetrustees.org/products/hyr...

I’m real tired of “resiliency” work being code for “here’s how to endure more” instead of the godly and just work of reforming broken systems. I’m not doing that anymore. That not the God I serve.

Tiny Black Jesus just out here waiting for the Orange line like the rest of us

As someone who works in an institution that makes it notoriously unfriendly to victims to report abuse, how about we just, you know, stop abusing women?

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

I just go back on this app and what?! Just release the files.

Actual good news: First Church #SomervilleMA wins court case to open homeless shelter. Judge Rubin says #Church “was guided by robust scriptural support for housing the unsheltered and caring for strangers in both the Old and New Testament.” #Mapoli #YIGBY www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/07/m...

Praying on Easter Thursday with Psalm 167- let us pray 🙏: “Put not your trust in rulers, nor any child of earth.” O God, forgive us. Time and again, we forget that You reign over all creation and our lives. You keep your promises forever. Others will pass; You remain. Give us sure confidence in You.

I know my main takeaway should be about the Vatican inside and war baseball but mostly my Gen Xish Protestant Boston lady pastor and music loving heart is strangely warmed to learn of a blog that makes a joke about the band “Letters to Cleo.”

Coming up at 8pm EST is Rev William H Lamar IV on #BeyondTheGatekeepers talking about his new book ANCESTORS that I’m so excited to read! Live on YouTube www.youtube.com/live/63MK57I...

Somehow I ended up in the “bro row” of yoga class tonight. Saints, if I wanted to go to CrossFit, I would have. I do not.

Addiction is real, and it’s a disease. But if you defraud the people of the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts to fund your gambling, we don’t have to foot your retirement. Especially when you served on the House ethics committee. Nope. 👎 #Lowell #Mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/08/m...

Praying on Easter Wednesday with Psalm 99- let us pray 🙏 : “The Lord is King.” Well, thank God for that. Too many other’s are out here trying to act like they are kings and I am trembling instead in terror. You alone are King, O Lord. You alone deliver generations. You alone save the people.You only

Go to bed beloved. Nothing gets solved by you being worn.

Today could not have been an email.

Thinking about Madeleine L’Engle’s A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and how the Murrys are wide awake and agitated all night, terrified that Mad Dog Branzillo is going to start nuclear war.

You’re supposed to feel emotionally drained and exhausted. Because you are a human and this is wild behavior. We don’t have to live like this. We do not have to allow him to rule.

It’s this. What Trump did to the world today was terror and in itself a war crime. This is the behavior of abusers. Anyone in power who possesses even a single shred of integrity must step up now and remove this abuser from office.

Some of y’all need to turn off your auto skeets now. Read the room. Love pastor Laura

This isn’t about him anymore. It’s about us. Are we going to live like this?

We don’t have to live like this.

Lord, have mercy. We do not have to live like this.

I’m going to go pray, run staff meeting and build our little corner of the Commonwealth where we love our neighbors well. I pray for our country, for Iran and for all in harms way because I follow the prince of peace. Also sanity.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.

AI doesn’t make me a better pastor. Doesn’t help me listen more closely and tenderly to someone who is grieving. I want to be more human. Talk to me when it helps me show more of God’s love, not be a better cog in your machine.

Nature’s cascarones

Bad theology is deadly: pass it on.

I believe in New England because snow in April keeps you humble.

Praying on Easter Tuesday with Mark 16: let us pray 🙏: O Lord, this story is so wild, they don’t believe that death can be overcome by love. They don’t believe the grave can be conquered. But Your words are true. You say we will speak in new tongues. Even if others don’t believe our new life, let me

There is no more percent mcsweeney’s “#Note: It’s still your problem.”

Bolstering the backline 🫡 Boston Legacy Football Club today announced the signing of defender Samantha Cary Angel on loan from the Chicago Stars until July 30, 2026, with a mutual option for both clubs to extend her contract until the end of the season. 📰 https://bit.ly/4sYzrfY

If Tr*mp wants to defend Christianity, AND a war he can actually win, how about a war on the emoji that pops up when the faithful type “Easter?” Because 🐣 this ain’t it. Just as Hegseth. That chic is too smol.

In my Easter Auntie Era: Get a 7 yr old in your life. If you do not have your own, make friends with neighbors or go to church. Our 7 yr old friend was thrilled by cascarones. And brought dog treats wrapped in toilet paper tubes as presents for the dogs for an “egg hunt.” God is good, y’all.

Praying today on Easter Monday with Mark 16: let us pray 🙏- You Who Go Before Us, You do not send us out alone. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome together return to the tomb. We encounter this life and death with “terror and amazement,” too. Do not leave us alone. Go ahead, Lord.

Praying this Easter with Matthew 28: let us pray 🙏- You who know scars and scandals, You know our life. You meet us at the tomb. It’s the women, it’s always the women who show up. Still You show up, scarred but rising. Raise us. The myrrh-bearers run with “fear and joy.” Alleluia! This is life!

Sabbath Sign Out: remembering the meals that give us life and the tomb that holds death for now. Now we wait. Read the tradition of my Kerala Syriac family of unleavened appam. Trusting Sunday will come. scroll.in/article/1081...

Were you there? youtu.be/uhGYD1svTM4?...

I send morning prayers out to some friends and one just replied, re #GoodFriday saying “We will never be asked to go anywhere that Jesus has not already been!!!!” Ok preacher! 🙌🏽

Praying on this #GoodFriday with John 13: let us pray 🙏-Dear Lord, today You know our humanity, our fragility, our absolute horror of separation from one another and even God. You go where we cannot go. Lay down Your life so death will not reign. Draw me near to You even as others flee, as I want to
