I know @fathertim.bsky.social really likes the Ravens, and his fave team was playing today. Don’t really follow sports, does anyone know how his team did?

Saw the Pope went to visit President Erdoğan today. Do you think this is the result of translation/idiom issues?

Pope:
“Arrange something special for November 25. It’s Turkey Day, you know.”

Aide, for whom English is a second language:
“We will make it happen, Your Holiness.”

Broke: Sarum Blue

Woke: Uppsala Blue

Bespoke: Sarum Black
Should most congregations feel inferior as they look at those few parishes following Sarum Use for their Advent colors? Of those, those oh-so-corrrect places will using black on the four Sundays of Advent.

(Sarum blue being reserved for Michaelmas, obvi)

All of you mayo fans out there need to re-examine your life choices in light of this revelation. Protect Democracy and eat better food. Fascism and mayonnaise are both gross!

One of the best things about visiting Iowa is that I get to buy the best potato chips in the world, and I get to do my shopping in Hy-Vee.

It’s excellent that Starbucks added a green band to the bottom of their cups to celebrate the final days of the season after Pentecost (helpfully recalled by the splash of red). ⚓️

The Pope’s apostolic letter is SO GOOD. This is the kind of teaching, encouragement, and vision that benefits all Christians. ⚓️

The stained glass windows at Christ Church Glendale join me in praising Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, on this Last Sunday after Pentecost. ⚓️

I look forward to celebrating the kingship of Jesus Christ tomorrow on the Last Sunday after Pentecost. ⚓️

For those who like to name your Sundays, how about:
* The Place Called the Skull Sunday
* Image of the Invisible God Sunday
* Righteous Branch Sunday
* Firstborn from the Dead Sunday

Today the President called for the execution of members of Congress, and the Coast Guard declared that swastikas are fine. I’m beginning to suspect this…isn’t…normal?

But seriously. Lord, have mercy on our nation.

Proclaiming “Jesus is Lord” was perhaps the first Christian credo... As authoritarianism, chaos, lies, and violence rise around the world, we who follow Jesus do well to join the martyrs who went before us in proclaiming “Jesus is Lord!” ⚓️

Having inwardly digested page 32 of the BCP 1979, I look forward to celebrating a big feast this Sunday — and no other title or occasion:

All of you people who like to name your Sundays (e.g. “Transfiguration Sunday” or “Christ the King Sunday”), what do you call this week?

Dreadful Portent Sunday?
Inwardly Digest Sunday?
Famine and Plague Sunday?

Woo hoo! I just won a free trip to Phoenix in July 2027! Kidding. I’m delighted and honored to have been elected to serve as a Deputy to the next General Convention of the Episcopal Church. ⚓️
