My goal for 2025 is to hit 175 birds in my home county: Cabell, West Virginia. 200 is my stretch goal. I shall document my progress here

Apple AirTags for my church members so that I'll actually know when they're in the hospital. Is this anything?

The whole “GAFCON traditionalists have this to say” framing too easily buys into their own reactionary posture, that having, say, female bishops is simply “capitulation to liberal secular culture”

No, it’s grounded in Nicene Christology, and the resources are easily available that spell this out

I'm fortunate that this spot, a downtown riverfront park, is 2 blocks from my church. I can check it about everyday. Some days there's not much, other days there are fun things like American pipit, scoters, loons, American avocets. 2 months ago I found like 4th state record laughing gull there

I went out for a while yesterday but today just checked the riverfront park for a bit. Had these two female/1st year blue winged teal among the usual Canada geese and mallards
