A bowl of their greens is one of my favorite traveling meals.

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 can’t 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. Patty’s Breastplate accompanied by piano is pretty cool. I kept laughing during the Sequence hymn as we sang 4 times, β€œlet there be light!” Preached about the Trinity as Love in Action (thanks Ellen Davis). Lights back on as we started Prayer C.πŸ•―οΈ

Our Mother-tongue Is Love; A Sonnet for Pentecost Here, once more is my sonnet for Pentecost. Drawn fromΒ β€˜Sounding the Seasons’,Β my cycle of sonnets for the Church Year, this is a sonnet reflecting on and celebrating the them…

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. πŸ˜‹

βš“Very truly I tell you, the Kingdom of Heaven is like picking green beans to give away in the misty rain with the smell of gardenias rising all around...and nibbling on rain washed blackberries as you finish up.

βš“ Today is the 9th anniversary of my first day as the Rector of Holy Trinity in Clemson. What a wild and wonderful ride it has been! I have grown to love these good people and this part of God's creation more than I had imagined when I first arrived. 🫢🏼

Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor.

Those in power who are claiming they want a β€œChristian nation” are only bringing good news to the rich and powerful while creating cruel conditions for the poor.

They want β€œChristianity” without the inconvenience of Christ.

I basically forgot about it being Memorial Day, so we just did church.

It was great. I lost my voice right when I attempted to chant the proper preface.

I’ve never not been disappointed by Almy’s 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. βš“

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. βš“
