Loves a good church piano. Involuntarily explaining a dead husband & North Dakotan roots on the regular. Makes music as Lo Sy Lo. Makes dinner as ‘Mom-why-can't-you-like-cybergrind.’ Jesus always or nothing makes sense.

In my domestic life, I have a sincere hatred of cans that aren’t designed to stack. What are we even doing.

Confession: sometimes instead of bringing my existential anxiety to Jesus, I bring it to a black hole of Hauerwas videos on Youtube

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Hobbled into worship rehearsal this morning, VERY tired, and with the world’s largest canker sore - but ready to offer light backup vocal support and harmony to our guest worship leader, who - bless - came in assumming I was leading all the songs. 😅

90% of the time, when someone asks someone else out on a date on a tv show or movie, they hang up before discussing the when/where and this annoys me 100% of the time

Eavesdropping on a first date and they just started talking about their dads. I think it was nervous small talk. (At 19, your family has been almost your entire world—so an obvious default.) But it was so sweet and I thought about how much their dads would probably love to be eavesdropping with me.

This has nothing to do with the actual content… but what’s the deal (*insert Jerry Seinfield voice) with the Random Capitalizations???!! (See statement for example.) When did Trump, Facebook, and Boomers in general decide this was A Thing? Did I Miss the Memo?

Got a new roof a few months ago. In the middle of this snowy Michigan winter, sometimes when I pull into the driveway my heart just swells with ridiculous pride. You’re doing it, Roof! You’re doing it! I knew you could do it! 😂

Yesterday marked 10 yrs since my first husband’s death from cancer. But today marks 10 yrs of living after that—stepping out into a terrifying new world where everything, save the grace of God, had changed. No situation, relationship, or practicality was untouched. Feeling grateful to still be here.

I can’t stop reading or watching sci-fi. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It must mean something. The only other genre possibily luring me away from sci-fi right now is classical mythology.

Whenever we celebrate Christmas with my first set of in-laws, my Pentecostal preacher brother-in-law and I leave the fam celebrations to go to a midnight candlelight service around the corner at the Lutheran church in their small town (pop. 150). It’s my favorite service of the year.

I have a Pavlovian response to moderate amounts of snow that I can’t shake—I lose all motivation and sense of responsibility due to a childhood of epic Midwestern no-school snowdays every year or so. It’s like my brain sees a few inches of snow and is like, “Ope, nothin happening today, I guess!”

I manage social media accounts for three different nonprofits. Feelings *some* online peer pressure to whip up “We are ALSO thankful” posts and emails for them all, but have decided to refrain bc I love you all. Consider it an early Xmas present from me to you and your inboxes/feeds.

I keep making friends 10 years older or younger than me, but for the life of me can’t find a “what—you too?!” friend my own age here. I think widowhood aged me. On the flip side, it’s nice to have younger friends who are just trying to figure out life when you feel like you’ve had to start over.

This is #notourcat, Mooshie. He’s a neighborhood cat that, after 3 years of us living here, has wormed his way into our lives and now hangs out at our place 80% of the day. And would prefer I didn’t do any computer work.

I’m on church websites a lot for my job. Just visited an about page that listed “Work Like it Depends on Us” as one of their core values and I hissed and threw holy water at the screen. Lord have mercy, no.

TBH I mostly lurked on Twitter for poetry, nerdy theological quotes to squirrel away, and podcast, book, and tv recommendations. Waiting patiently for the Bluesky boom to scooch past the salutations and niceties phase and get down to business. SEND ME ALL THE RECS PLZ.

Dropped the 13 yr old off by himself at his first midwest hardcore/emo festival. Feeling all the feels— pride (you’re so much cooler than I was at 13) sadness (your bio-dad would’ve enjoyed this so much) apprehension (so many skulls, piercings, and vapes lol) and resignation (I feel so old)
