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. #TooMany
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.
@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. #KobayashiMaru
@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. #Exhausting
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. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opinion/trump-indictment.html
@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.
