The most intense spiritual discipline I can think of is turning on read receipts on all your texts. I know an extremely prominent theologian who has read receipts on, and it's such a clear mark of sanctification.

Professor Peppy is obviously an adjunct* * I am an adjunct so I am allowed to make this joke

Like his 6:30AM hot yoga class in Oxford, Ole Miss has now been set free.

Remember, its not too late to get behind on your Bible reading plan!

I wrote a whole theology dissertation on this and he just…tweeted it out

Rooting for Ole Miss on behalf of a parishioner who deserves to be happy, is this priesthood? 🦋

Put too much side meat in my peas, hoping the salt doesn’t drive my blood pressure into the stratosphere. But it was delicious anyway! The ancestors have been placated for another year.

After hearing people say this for decades, and also assert that man-for-man, the Wehrmacht was superior to all other armies, I've come to the conclusion that those who make those claims are closeted Nazis.

Reminder: Today is THURSDAY. If you work at a church, you have three more days before Sunday.

We also went to the site of the Battle of Princeton. Unknown soldiers from both sides were buried together in this grove of trees.

This morning, Greta and I went hiking and we saw some alpacas

Pork roll is breakfast hot dog and I think that’s beautiful.

Not nihilism: ‘Deep philosophical problems beset the ways people try to use and articulate ideas such as “truth” and “meaning” and “the good”.’ Nihilism: ‘Let’s destroy whatever we want to, protect child rapists, allow diseases to run rampant, just because we feel like it and no one can stop us.’

My new year was about four weeks ago

Pour one out for the Metrocard, RIP

Happy UTC New YEAR from your favorite time zone abolitionist!

Happy New Year to everyone in the UK! ⚓

Those reading apps are the same way but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

bringing this mirror over from twitter so that some of you can see yourselves

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Calvin’s Geneva was communist (little c). Dude invented welfare!

The Anglican Bluesky equivalent to this is the fact that the biggest posters top out at like “rector of a medium sized parish” in terms of status in the hierarchy.

Oh shoot, I’m preaching again this Sunday.

Greta has brought seven (7) dog toys into my bedroom.

This is the feast of Thomas Becket, martyred this day in 1170. 🕯️ The MS from which many have already shared images today, Cotton Claudius B II, is back online at the BL. Yay! It is a late-12c copy of John of Salisbury's life of Becket w/Alan of Tewkesbury's collection of 598(!!) of Becket's letters!

Thinking of doing some kind of transit stunt on my week off, like take the train to New Haven for lunch.

We had a lovely service of Lessons and Carols today, and now I'm off for a week. I think I'm going to stare at the wall for the rest of the day.

Why am I awake, this is stupid

I have Robert Jenson's bread and butter plates.
