I was just saying that an MDiv doesn’t mean someone doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State or is a findamentalisy

Without basing your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“I am looking for friends who are sitting criss cross applesauce with their listening ears on.”

Honestly, the best part is that once I get home tomorrow (after convention and another event) I don’t have to leave again until at least Monday. What a gift!

It was alarming to hear a European declare today on NPR that they have to start considering whether the US is now an enemy (he actually declared it pretty straightforwardly, I just softened it for my own sake.)

It’s like a train wreck, I know I should look away, but it’s so hard to stand by and know there is nothing you can do.

Always….interesting…to wake up on a Saturday morning and find we invaded another country…

I feel this so deeply, particularly with family who are attracted to this kind of church and don’t much care about the theological challenges I have tried talking about with them.

Not gonna lie, Goodreads trying to make me do my year in review when there are still 4 more reading days is not cool.

I usually make us wait until Christmas Eve to decorate our tree. This year I’m like, welp Advent 4, let’s get out the ornaments!

I kept thinking about that fire proof box many of the seminaries have foe the thurible after the VTS chapel burned down. Is that what the closet was?

Hot take- I do not want every lace I order from or app I use to give me a “This year wrapped.” I do not care…..

Yes, she is a junior. She loves Chicago and I love that she loves it and is back in Illinois. Now she understands why her Midwestern parents did things differently than her southern classmates!

I think this is one of the reasons spiritual practices are so important, it is not something you can do on your own, it comes from God’s work in you. And, a whole lot of humility and leaning on your mentors and parish leaders.
