I revisited this piece I wrote two years ago. It’s gun violence and God and life and loss and dust. I might write a new one today. ⚓️. www.ozarkmisfit.com/post/when-yo...

Had a blast at the K-State Canterbury for Shrove Tuesday and weekly program! Talked about the work of SFM and my own vocational journey. Asked them to listen for God’s call in and through their studies and passions. Go Cats! #shrovetuesday #vocation #episcopal #anglican #episcopalchurch 💜💙💛⚓️

As always, it’s an honor to compose a special Thanksgiving prayer for Saint Francis Ministries, with artwork by youth in our care, to be shared with our children & families, team members, and supporters! 💙🦃💛 ⚓️ #thanksgiving #episcopal #anglican #episcopalchurch #wayoflove #lovealways

A table tent card with a handprint turkey drawn by a youth in care at Saint Francis Ministries. Titled “Happy Thanksgiving 2025”

Reverse of the Thanksgiving table tent card with a prayer that reads:
“Holy and gracious God, who has given us life and all good things: You have entrusted us with so many great gifts, the wonderful splendor of Creation, the richness of relationship, the power of forgiveness and renewal, the good news of the Gospel. As we gather around this abundant table, with hearts and souls filled with thanks for all you have done for us, may this Thanksgiving overflow with great joy and inspire our fresh commitment to provide healing and hope to all those placed in our care. We pray these things in the holy name of Jesus Christ, the source and summit of our gratitude. Amen.”
Prayer was written by the Rev. Andrew T. O'Connor, Executive Officer for Mission & Ministry, Saint Francis Ministries.

Twenty years a deacon today! Filled with gratitude for the gift of service that the diaconate has been in my ministry! N.b. That baby is now a college graduate, going to be a teacher, and engaged!! 🙏🏼 🔥 🕊️ ❤️ #deacon #diaconate #ordination #episcopal #anglican #episcopalchurch #wayoflove #lovealways

Easter Sunday at St. John’s, Wichita! As a non-parochial priest it’s a joy to be a part of this community when I’m not supplying or traveling for SFM. Deeply thankful to Mother Christine, the vicar, for including me today! 🖤🙏🏼 ⛪️⚓️ #easter #episcopal #anglican #episcopalchurch #wayoflove #lovealways

One of the weirdly wonderful things about being a non-parochial priest is you get to bring Ash Wednesday to work…in my case, to the FY26 strategic planning meeting for SFM! 💛➕💙 #ashwednesday #lent #episcopal #anglican #episcopalchurch #wayoflove #lovealways

An amazing weekend for my daughter Holly who stole the show as Alice Beineke *and* choreographed all the dance numbers for the Addams Family musical! Now on to next weekend when she’ll star as Anne Boleyn in MTW’s production of Six!
