Sabbath Sign Out: Besitos for dessert. This pup is Luna who I met on May Day in #ChelseaMA. Then today, I found besitos at Market Basket in Waltham! We all deserve más besitos y menos deportaciones. Feast and rest for the work is long.

“This is just a foretaste of the heavenly banquet,” said (Very Rev Amy) McCreath. “It’s like this vision of the world that God wants for us all the time.” Thank you @bostonglobe.com for this very American & very hopeful story of feeding community on #Thanksgiving www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/27/m...

Praying with Psalm 142: let us pray 🙏🏽- It’s true, I pour out all my complaints to You, all my complaints. A grocery list. A laundry list. An Amazon wish list of complaints. I tell You most of my troubles. Then I try to hide like You don’t know. When my spirit languishes, guide me back. Bring me home
6:53 Back = Morning Prayer Psalm 142 Voce mea ad Dominus BCP p. 798 6 7 cry to the LorD with my voice; * to the LorD I make loud supplication. I pour out my complaint before him * and tell him all my trouble. When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path; * in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me. I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me; * I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me. I cry out to you, O LorD; * I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low; * save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name; * when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me. Praise to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

This is the best of #Church & best of #America. On #Thanksgiving at the Cathedral Church of St Paul in #Boston, the #Muslims cook the meal, #Christians bring the pies and we all serve the unhoused community with dignity. We pray and sing and feast. There is enough when we share.

Turkey trots are for babies. Real clerics ride bikes.

(I shaved 7 minutes off my commute to church!! With a headwind- the streets are for people) this was the thanksgiving table before we fed the unhoused community.

A new study links the nonstop popping to anxiety, poor sleep, phantom pickleball sounds--even PTSD-like symptoms and suicidal thoughts.

I LOVE BCYF so much. Gimme them shoot around with the trash talk, free swimming pools, kids in art classes, dance for the people, and elders learning to code, old Russian ladies doing aqua aerobics kicking my ass. BCYF is some of the best of Boston. They get all my thanks and praise.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at BCYF! 🦃

We’re grateful for the champions across our community — the youth, families, and older adults we serve, and the staff who bring our 36 sites to life. We’re also thankful for our partners who support our mission.

Wishing you warmth and good food! 🍁💙

Friends, if you need a reading before feasting, I just reread Lincoln’s #Thanksgiving proclamation. It’s quite good… “to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” plimoth.org/yath/unit-5/...

Praying with Deuteronomy 26: let us pray 🙏🏽- Remind us, O Lord, to bring our first fruits before You. Remind us, we are in a land of milk and honey. Our ancestors were wandering Arameans, were enslaved, immigrants and indigenous. Make us Your people. Make us generous and thankful. Make us Yours. Amen
8:22 つ < Back Morning Prayer and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the LoRD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. 3 You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, "Today I declare to the LorD your God that I have come into the land that the LorD swore to our ancestors to give us." 4 When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, S you shall make this response before the LoRD your God: "A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, we cried to the LorD, the God of our ancestors; the LorD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. *The LorD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; 9 and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. ° So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O LoRD, have given me." You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the LORD your God. " Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the LoRD your God has given to you and to your house.

1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for up to a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge.

Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) has ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

God bless #JimmyCliff. This was the music of my childhood. You could not tell me they weren’t singing “Laura!” Shout out to my parents for playing “The Harder they Come.” On repeat. We’ve got many rivers to cross, saints. #SkaAllOverTheWorld

Praying with Psalm 119- let us pray 🙏🏽- Ok but FRFR God, I’m not calling with my whole heart; I’ve got one eye on You and another on my phone, the news and my own crazy. I’m calling You early in the morning mostly because I can’t sleep. Let’s fix this. Give me life. Give me life abundant. Give me God
7:19 Back 100 Morning Prayer Psalm 119: Qoph Clamavi in toto corde meo BCP p. 775 cau with my whole heart; * answer me, O LorD, that I may keep your statutes. 146 I call to you; oh, that you would save me! * I will keep your decrees. 147 Early in the morning I cry out to you, * 148 for in your word is my trust. My eyes are open in the night watches, * that I may meditate upon your promise. 149 Hear my voice, O LORD, according to your loving-kindness; * according to your judgments, give me life. 15o They draw near who in malice persecute me; 151 152 they are very far from your law. You, O LORD, are near at hand, * and all your commandments are true. Long have I known from your decrees * that you have established them for ever.

“What are you holding?” “What’s helping?” These are two of the orienting questions we use at #MassChurches for staff meetings. Invites intimacy but doesn’t force it. People are holding so much these days. We hold it better together.

Made my single best decision of the past week and threw my body in the pool this morning. Got my ass handed to me when I got in the lane with other women. Turns out one was a triathlete.
Lifeguard said “Ma’am? Why don’t you swim with them men? They’re slower.”
I love the Boston community pool.
