The only time I knowingly initiated an AI query was on Canva a couple of years ago to create a Palm Sunday graphic and the results so totally weirded me out that I just canβt even imagine using it pastorally.
Box breathing the Jesus prayer, outside time, and cuddles with a cutie pie for this very reason.
People over pickle ball.
Or for the ubiquitous sports metaphor, play money ball.
Our power went out right after the early service. St. Pattyβs Breastplate accompanied by piano is pretty cool. I kept laughing during the Sequence hymn as we sang 4 times, βlet there be light!β Preached about the Trinity as Love in Action (thanks Ellen Davis). Lights back on as we started Prayer C.π―οΈ
Sheβs a very good girl!
Ugh. Those days really suck. Be well.
Today we feel the wind beneath our wings
Today the hidden fountain flows and plays
Today the church draws breath at last and sings
As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise.

Today's harvest was just over 42 pounds: carrots, peas, green beans, squash, collards, and cabbage. All delivered to the local food bank. The blackberries were delivered hyper locally. π

They want βChristianityβ without the inconvenience of Christ.
I basically forgot about it being Memorial Day, so we just did church.
Who hates the baptismal covenant?
It was great. I lost my voice right when I attempted to chant the proper preface.
WOW! What a wonderful development!
Whaaaaa? What is Becky up to now?
Iβve never not been disappointed by Almyβs clericals for women.
I spent my morning planning to host refugees in our parish hall as they learn to speak a new language, digital literacy, financial literacy, and the importance of changing HVAC filters and batteries in smoke detectors. What a high and Holy calling we have to welcome our new neighbors. β
When your job description boils down to "love them," there will be grieving. And indescribable joy.

If you grew up in the South, you know just how heavenly this smells. If you don't know this joy, come on by Holy Trinity this weekend and experience it for yourself. While you're here, say a prayer and tie a ribbon on the fence. β
Sounds about right to me.
Childrenβs Story Bibles have a lot to answer for.
White supremacist propaganda, to be precise.
I save it for the bi-monthly newsletter.
Yes, you do. And with good reason.
