Delightful morning at Mount Olive! I got to preach at the 8:00 and the 10:45, Pastor led an engaging and insightful adult forum on Mary Magdalene, and several friends joined for worship! (Wesley and his siblings, dear @margueritek.bsky.social, and my pastor care prof!) My heart is so full 🥹🕊️🕯️

• on one side it’s Evangelicals saying, “Jesus is my boyfriend :)”
• the middle is the Frozen Chosen saying, “Jesus is NOT your boyfriend, have some respect!!!!!!”
• and then the other side is me and the mystics saying, “Jesus is my boyfriend :)”
• on one side it’s Evangelicals saying, “Jesus is my boyfriend :)”
• the middle is the Frozen Chosen saying, “Jesus is NOT your boyfriend, have some respect!!!!!!”

Christ the King Sunday is the perfect opportunity to remind everyone that the separation of church and state protects both the church *and* the state from each other.

one of my favorite pieces of folk religion — in Swedish, there’s only one word for dove and pigeon (as they’re essentially the same thing), so above the pulpits in these old country churches, they have depicted the Holy Spirit as their own local pigeon variant. delightful!! 🕊️🕯️✨

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

My great grandfather’s confirmation certificate from 1913. He was confirmed at the Evangelical Church of Peace (now Peace UCC) in Rochester, Minnesota. An interesting reminder that a huge chunk of UCC churches in Minnesota started as German Reformed congregations. What a fun piece of legacy!

I used to think saying “oh my God” was the most common form of taking the Lord’s name in vain
but now I think the most common example of it is people with “Christ is King ✝️” in their bios who spend every waking hour harassing queer people and feminists on the internet

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.
Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.
I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.
