Beautiful service of Vespers. Thank you for lighting a candle for me. :-)

My dear friend with whom I had lunch today had not heard of Amos! So I sent her a copy of Chapter 5. 🕯Just trying to be nice.

I did play this song a lot. Seriously, Lord, take this badge off of me. I honestly can't use it any more.🎵 See you in heaven.

el oh el!!

Time for my Spoify Wrapped. Will have to wait until after my lunch date now.

The readings this morning (Amos and 2 Peter) go really hard. They make you face up to Advent.🕯

Please join us for Advent Vespers at 7:00pm tomorrow, or on YouTube anytime afterwards. (Livestream will be shared right after our midweek eucharist tomorrow.) Take a break mid week, and hold some time to get ready for the great mystery of Christmas. (1/2)

The key thing of Jesus' cleansing of the temple was the lame and blind coming in and the kids singing. 🕯

ICE is coming to the twin cities, particularly targetting our wonderful somali community. Pray for their safety, pray that the Church here boldly stands with our immigrant neighbors. Pray for the abolition of ICE. ⚓️

I'm giving a talk later in the week to an ecumenical group of clergy. What do you think your pastors, priests, and preachers need to hear this Advent season? What would you like to say to them? 🕯️

One religious practice that is, for me, absolutely crucial is saying grace before meals. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Standard, pre-written, or ad hoc. Anything. 🕯

Treat yourself to this.

Brilliant. I knew you'd do it.

You must see this!! Someone, please do Northfield!

Gosh yes! 100%

My recreational Advent reading. Part of me obsesses over calendars - religious, secular, seasonal, liturgical. Then I remember that eternity is the only true "measure."

Drop down ye heavens from above and let the skies our down the Righteous One. 👍

One good thing about modern times: if you dread seeing more of a TV series, you can just read the recaps and learn how it ends without the agony of watching.

I know some of you like candle themes for Advent. Here are the traditional themes for the season. Hope you enjoyed your Death Candle this morning! 💀 🕯️

Fr Cody's artistic director was like, "YES! Make the shovel match the hat."

Sang O Come, I Come Emmanuel this a.m., but not this version. open.spotify.com/track/2SMsmh...

Really, really good stuff here. Worth your time. So glad I saved it to watch.🕯😊

I’m weary with my former toil, Here I will sit and rest awhile: Under the shadow I will be Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.

So grateful to be able to worship online today, being unplowed and over-snowed.🕯 Two churches - St Johns Dixie and All Saints. Blessed.

Thanks to the bee keeper at our farmers market, my Advent candles are beeswax this year.

I know that feasts are transferred from Sundays, but I'm making my husband his Saint's day cake today anyhow. Purgatory, here I come. 🕯

Those blind men refusing to shut up in tonight's E.P. Matthew 20. 🕯 It's in there for a reason!

Was planning to spend 1st Advent at All Saints, but with this snow, I might not make it to church tomorrow at all. Glad for the internet. 🕯

Advent at sunset. I'm ready. 🕯

Blessed Advent everyone. There is a journey you must take. This is from 'Meister Eckhart's Book of the Heart'.

None of these were ever used as swears, I promise.

OK @profanity.accountant Tell me about myself.

Next door neighbors baked and brought us this gorgeous challah!

November 28th, 2025 — The day history will remember as the day when the Pope of Rome and the Patriarch of Constantinople as well as clergy representing Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch publicly professed the Nicene creed on the 1700th anniversary of the council of Nicaea, without the filioque.

Had to.share this! Intense Advent stuff. 🕯 youtube.com/watch?v=u-NW...

The Beast in Me, episilode 3, has Jonathan Banks in it!

You just died The sixth picture in your photo gallery is what killed you.

Yes, because this is how an actual human being behaves.

Reading a little bit about Voluntarism. (Capitalization here is sarcastic.)

gorgeous service. easy to find online. treat yourself.

I have worshipped at Messiah a couple times in recent years. The community is beautifully bi-cultural. There is so much grace given there. 🙏🙏

Please read! A Messiah, St. Paul, member shared this, From the (Burmese) Karen Organization of Minnesota. Messiah first welcomed then Karen Burmese Refugees in 2007. They have become integral members of the Church. Link in the comments. ⚓
