But now they can't change it because changing logos sparks rumors of being "woke." bsky.app/profile/bart...

My daughter Eva, 17, and her mother @millennialhippie.bsky.social get on the shuttle bus to head to the hospital for Eva's first day of chemo for stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma in 15 minutes. I have to join them later. Prognosis is good. Treatment is rough, but thankfully not stage 4 treatment.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust him. It's been a rough 5 years.

No offense to my non-Southern friends, but there’s something especially powerful about hearing someone who sounds like me and understands my culture speaking this way. A guy like this has a chance of getting through to people who would never listen to an outsider. We need more of this.

Today, I woke up angry ... livid ... utterly raging at the fallen world around me. Life's not fair, and that in of itself is a symptom of the world's fallenness. I can't breathe. I'm angry, but it fixes nothing. Maranatha.

The government doesn't stop people from getting away with things. It is the means by which people get away with things.

Once we admit to ourselves that we can cause hurt it becomes much easier to be compassionate when we see others do the same. Where is Christ inviting you to learn to be compassionate this Lent?

Just say the word and it will be Just say the word to rescue me Lifting your hand to calm the sea Just say the word and it will be

Nooooooooooo

Hear me out ...

Any takers?

Imagine being so bad at Sunday school that the pope yelled at you personally

‪Pope: "The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality."‬

I'm a linguist. I can't use the ESV. That'd be like a programmer buying a lottery ticket.

Winter's back

Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong And men at war with men Hear not the love-song which they bring! O hush the noise, ye men of strife! And hear the angels sing! ☮️

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Where's the worst place to be if you're lactose intolerant?" Asks the 9 year old. "Where?" "Winsconsin!" Maniacal laughter at her own cleverness

ME: Wait a minute, what are you still doing on my porch CHRISTMAS CAROLERS: We told you, we won’t go until we get some ME: ….what CHRISTMAS CAROLERS: Now bring us some figgy pudding, now bring us some figgy pudding, now bring us some figgy pudding

I'm sensing some mathematical frustration in the 14yo

The bleeding seems to have stopped, so ... we can laugh about it now ... How's your day going?

Why does everything have to be red velvet in February. It's worse than pumpkin spice, ya'll. Bring back pumpkin spice.

Love is him remembering i like pepper on my eggs ❤️

Just a girl, standing in front of her plants, asking them to love her.

Red dye 3 has been banned because cancer but we're still holding on to all those 5000 nuclear warheads.

I'm gonna start a youtube channel called "How to Kill Your Plants." Because I'm an expert in it. Viewers could then tell me everything I'm doing wrong 😂

Keeping the home fires burning.

70 percent chance of snow on Friday. This'll be interesting.

Mornin' Church. 🎵 What can wash away my sins?🎵

New Years Eve 2019, I asked Ruby (age 4), "What's your one wish?" Her answer: For God to start the world over. Yes, you read that right. And we all know what happened in 2020. This year, her one wish is for world hunger to end. I'm expecting great things out of 2025.

"Lois, want to go to Narnia?" Ruby, age 9, yells at her sister while closing herself into the closet

He loves me.

When we who follow Jesus fight for political power and seek to exercise dominance over other people, we have abandoned the light of Christ and returned to the darkness of idolatry—for instead of worshiping Christ, we are worshiping power. (Second Sunday of Christmas sermon: The Light of Revelation)

I have jury duty today, and like my predecessor in the faith David Lipscomb, I'm a conscientious objector to jury service, because I can't participate in governing, judging, charging, or convicting other people. Prayers appreciated.

His mercies are new every morning

No fire from heaven struck Herod down, or Judas in his day; no angels killed to save the Christ when Pilate held his sway. His victory came through love alone, and not from sword or spear, and we are his, whose feast it is about this time of year. A Carol For the world (Sue Gilmurray)

Everybody talkin' 'bout how yes, Mary knew and stop asking already, and nobody talkin' 'bout how we talkin' to Mary now?

Hot take: milk chocolate is better than dark chocolate.

Somehow all my apps reset to light mode. That was almost the end of me.

My kids are the most generous people I know 🥲

🎵 If I had a mug of cider, then I wouldn't have to beg 🎵

The great thing about having 8 kids is they get a first hand taste of the dangers of democracy.

I'm in Joanns with a 10 year old explaining to me in detail how they organize the yarn.

All things are ready, come to the feast! Come, for the table now is spread! Ye famishing, ye weary, come, And thou shalt be richly fed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s absolutely mind-boggling how many people in this country think that immigrants can just fill out paperwork and either “come legally” or “become a citizen.” It’s both so wrong and also such a product of intentional misinformation.

David is making me watch transformers. Send help.

The God who loves the world didn’t abandon it to cry alone. In the incarnation, He entered the human story. He drew nearer and lived and laughed and hungered and grew weary and wept with us. He loves us. He hears our cries. He comes to be with us. He *is* with us. /end
