Oh Canva. I type in "Crucifer" (since "person with cross" didn't help) and I got broccoli. Also cabbage. ⚓

We join Bishop Matthew Heyd in standing with the Reverend Flourish Klink, in gratitude for their witness. Thank you for proclaiming the Good News and for being a beacon of courage and hope, Fr. Flouish, and thank you for vocally standing with them and all of us, Bishop Heyd. ⚓️

Our trans siblings are completely beloved by God. They belong in this Church in the altar and in the pew.

I ordained the Rev. Flourish Klink. They are a faithful priest and gifted pastor. I am proud to serve alongside them.

Their voice is important. When one of us is singled out, we stand together. That is what the Body of Christ does.

We meet Christ in one another.

I don't even know where I would put such a phrase, as "profile" just means a different thing than it ever did now, but I want a place to say: "Into 12th century pop music."

Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Although you know the snow will follow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Without a hurt the heart is hollow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, The fire of September that made us mellow. Deep in December, our hearts should remember And follow.

Completely (mostly) kidding recruitment pitch: My community really needs: a garden enthusiast, a carpenter, a more-talented-than-me sew-er, another soprano, and a power-lifter. Now if these could line up with whom the Holy Spirit moves, that would be very convenient thank you very much. ⚓

I've been trying to explain to people what weird things my brain does when trying to transition from sleep to wake. It tells really weird lies. Not anxiety lies, just untruths. But usually by the time I wake enough to remember, it's all fuzzy and gone and I can't explain it. BUT this morning! 1/2

An argument for clear communication: not noticing and not caring look very much the same from the outside until you use words or some other legible semantic units to disambiguate.

I found this in a church that was closing. It's so well written and so well hoped. 🕯️

LORD JESUS
Eternal Priest you have called me to your priesthood to carry on the work which you began.

Fit me, I pray you, for this task with such faith that through my voice even the disbelieving may listen to your word.

With such hope that through my hands even the despairing may be held fast in your grip.

And with such charity that through my heart even the despised may know that you can never cease to love them: Join me so deeply to yourself that no one I meet shall lie beyond Your saving reach + Amen

To paraphrase Tom Lester, "It's an alarming thought that when T.S. Eliot wrote 'I grow old...I grow old...I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.' he was less than half my age." (But despite how much I like the poem, I maintain it's a wicked pretentious thing for an ~22 year old to write.)

Slightly charmed morning! I love it when the psalm cycle restarts with #1 on a Monday (I don't know why, it fills me with a kind of mini-first-day-of-school delight.) AND I correctly sight-sung BOTH of the antiphons. Which correctly sight-singing 2 lines of music in one day is a personal record. ⚓

I figured out what I don't like about the phrase: "Do you want to be in relationship, or do you want to be right?" And it's this: I want to be in relationships where it is the *default understanding* that conflict is not an existential threat to the relationship.

Pro-tip. A bulletin to notate a monotoned Lord's prayer that drops a third at the last syllable, abbreviate from near the beginning to near the end, because why write out a million of the same pitch. However, even if you don't want to dictate which version people use, this is not the way:
