The year is 2065, the Newly Re-revised New Revised Stand: Updated Edition (NRNRSVue) is released. "Brothers and sisters" has been replaced with "Giving units" "I appeal to you therefore, giving units, on the basis of God’s mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice"

Anyone have a Blessing of the Pets liturgy they're willing to share? Bonus points if in a bulletin format. I inherited one here that I do not care for ⚓

Paul has loaded his life into a spreadsheet, and Jesus Christ has become the transvaluative pivot table of Paul's very being.

One must work very hard if the impulse of worship is "experience" rather than Word and Sacrament

Apparently this guy here in Huntington has committed to sitting here with a piece of cardboard on a pole to block this Flock camera to protect his neighbors' privacy. I want to shake his hand and buy him a hotdog

It is still the language of familial intimacy with the Creator of the heavens and the earth, which Christ has opened to us through the abundance of his life! But it's not "daddy", for which I am thankful

It was a little crazy but good. Poor night's sleep into two services, then drove my kids to our diocesan camp (5 hours away), then on to DC to catch a flight to see our oldest son in MN who has had some health issues recently (but is on the mend now)

There's a German-Appalachian kind of new Southern restaurant here in Huntington, WV. I think they get some of it right. You can get schnitzel topped with chow chow and butter beans!

I can confirm that the only thing perhaps passably appalchian on here is peach cobblers. Maybe if hillbilly loaf is meatloaf? Beans yes, but with fried potatoes and greens. What it needs: hot dogs with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions

Nearly half of Americans surveyed don't know what America 250 commemorates
A new national poll reveals a striking paradox in public sentiment ahead of America's 250th anniversary: a disconnect between Americans' strong patriotic pride and their lack of civic knowledge.
