If you’re preaching, summarize this week’s sermon with a GIF.
Make bad things shameful again. ICE. Organizations caving to fascism. Bald-faced lies from political leaders. Good ol’ boys in the Church giving abuse a pass. Etc.
I’m no fan of ICE. But I use Spotify all the time for myself and my kids (bunch of podcasts they like). (How) Is Tidal any better? I’m willing to be convinced to boycott. But there’s also no fully ethical consumption under capitalism.
Don’t close your eyes to what ICE is doing every day to our neighbors. They are a secret police force, terrorizing communities with imagined impunity. They must be held to account. No secret police in the USA. Yes, we need common sense immigration reforms and reasonable enforcement. This ain’t it. This is evil, racist, bullshit. Christians, of all people, should be speaking up on behalf of immigrants. God is their advocate and defender. Are we?
I lost confidence in the ACNA’s leadership a few years ago, so I left. Since then, more and more has come to light to reveal the rot. ⚓️🕯️
Why does the Harbor Freight website give me issues when on Firefox? I repeatedly see “Something went wrong. Please, reload the page and try again.”
Trying to quit melatonin after taking it regularly for over a decade. Because apparently it’s bad for your heart, long-term? Anyways didn’t fall asleep until 1am last night. Giving some bedtime tea a try tonight.
What’s your favorite documentary?

(How) do you teach the Bible story of Noah’s Ark to children? What about the Binding of Isaac? I’ve taught those stories to others before, but having a hard time getting through them with my own kids beyond “Yep, these are pretty messed-up and God sure seems bad here. Let’s move on to Jesus.”
Wow what a battle for Game 7 and for the entire series. Congrats to the Dodgers, especially Rojas and Yamamoto for turning things around there.
What a game! Up way past my bedtime.
Who else is watching Game 7 tonight? I might throw caution to the wind and stay up past 10pm! 😂
Not me over here blasting “For All the Saints” and fondly remembering how we sang it each semester at Beeson Divinity School. Happy All Saints’ Day!
Guess I gotta read this Against the Machine book because y’all keep mentioning it.
Abolish ICE. And, while we’re at it, abolish Daylight Saving Time! Standard Time year-round.
My 2016 MacBook Pro is dying. Would like to get a Linux laptop to replace it (yes, I know I can put Linux on my MBP but I don’t feel like it). Let’s say I don’t wanna spend more than $750-1,000. Don’t have any gaming needs. What would you recommend? #linux #laptop #computer
