I was taking care of dinner dishes and Mrs. Ref swooped in and took over.
“I’ll do it,” I said, trying to be the nice husband.
“No … you go. I’m cold and the water’s warm.”
And there you have it …. Being nice is trumped by the need to have warm hands.

What’s your absolute favorite Bible verse?

Maple Anglican (@mapleanglican.bsky.social) over on BlueSky posted a question this afternoon asking people to share their favorite verse in the entire Bible. What a great question. Mine is "And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14). I can barely read that without tearing up at Christmas each year. What’s yours? Is there…

@wnknisely It depends on what I’m looking for. Judges 4:21 makes me laugh because someone thought it necessary to say, “And he died,” after Jael nailed Sisera’s head to the ground.
Jesus calling Mary by name at the tomb is always emotional.
“I have other sheep that don’t belong to this fold” reminds me I’m not in charge.

I am trying to find my people on Mastodon. Can you please boost this if you:

-Believe that blueberries could be bigger and that farmers are simply not working hard enough to grow massive blueberries.
-Lie awake at night wondering if squirrels are sad when they forget where they buried their acorns.
-Think restaurants should legally be required to participate in Taco Tuesday.
-Find Tilda Swinton to be terrifying yet oddly attractive.
-Know that you could defeat 50 Smurfs in hand-to-hand combat.

@lowqualityfacts If blueberries were bigger, I could use them as camouflage when I attacked the smurfs.

Take what you need right now:

@dancinyogi That is an almost impossible ballot. If I could, I’d have voted for a warm chocolate chip cookie with milk (the drink) and five minutes of peace and quiet in which to enjoy them followed by a thank you hug.

Stop scrolling!

Take a deep breath and do a quick check:

Is your jaw clenched? Blow a raspberry to relax it.

Are your brows furrowed? Scrunch up your facial muscles, then let them relax.

Are your shoulders tense? Take a breath and let them drop.

Are you hunched over? Sit up straight and take a long, slow breath.

Scan your body for any tension as you take five deep breaths.

Carry on. 😉

@dancinyogi I have raspberries in the fridge. I’m sure it would be a sin to say out loud what crossed my mind.

Only ONE of the four can exist in the universe:

Please boost for a wider demographic 🙏

@dancinyogi I don’t want to live in a universe where where only one of those is available.

Things I have been told to do on Mastodon:

-follow more people

-follow less people

-put content warnings on anything related to politics

-put content warnings on anything related to dogs (seriously)

-use alt text to translate my posts into French

-delete my Patreon because I don't deserve to make money

-sell merch with my facts on them because I deserve to make more money

-stop doing satire because it is enabling fascism and will get Trump reelected

Moral of the story: I have no idea.

@lowqualityfacts Sounds similar to being the priest of a parish. Preach longer. Preach shorter. Preach more theology. Preach more real world. This is your responsibility. Check with us before doing anything. Visit more people. Have more office hours.

This, by David French, is very good, but I wish I shared his faith that evidence presented at Trump's trial will convince his supporters to stop believing Trump's blatant lies. I am afraid that the lies are what they like about him most.

@anneapplebaum The cultists always believe their dear leader can do no wrong. If convicted, and if sent to prison, expect faithful followers to attempt at least one rescue.

“Why do you continue to have if nobody comes?”
Because someone needs to pray for this parish, this town, this country, and this world on a regular basis. The , or any worship service for that matter, are not based on numbers or an ROI formula. They are based simply on being with God.
