This past week I’ve been involved in two conversations about toilets. That’s not a lot but it’s two more than I needed to be involved in.
I finally got around to watching John Carpenter’s They Live this year and it’s the perfect black Friday movie. Friendly reminder that your relationships don’t need your dollars, just your attention.
I don’t always get sermon feedback, but today I got a lot. Mostly positive, but one that was critical. Of course it’s the critical one that lingers in my mind. But you just can’t get 100% ever.
Happy reunion day

If I have a big smile on my face on Father’s Day it’s because my [incredible, adorable, beautiful] wife surprised me with an espresso machine. ☕️ ❤️
Went to kiddo’s first pride party today
35 years ago today, a big yellow moving truck brought me to California ❤️
It’s true. The 30s have been awesome… started over, became a priest, found an awesome D&D group, married my wife, and I get to take my toddler to pick out donuts every Friday. 🌈 🍩

Hey, we got a ⭐️
Hopefully it’s big enough that the message is clear: ALL ARE LOVED
I love that my kid woke up wanting to watch Nausicaä
Yeah, look at Bill Murray. Dude barely uses an answering machine. Or Ed Sheeran, who hasn’t had a phone since 2015 and exclusively uses email. Social media isn’t what people think it is.
You know, I don’t really care if my church social media presence is lacking if being more engaged with trending topics means the same five people who like all my posts are drowned out by hundreds of hateful comments. I’d rather not subject myself to that.
Fair point. Always looking for better accounts to follow. Any recommendations?
Teddy had a great time seeing his first movie in the movie theatre today. We’re already looking forward to seeing Arrietty next!
ALL ARE LOVED 🏳️🌈
And there’s another that has a huge endowment that can only be used for flowers. They had like a $100k roof problem but couldn’t touch any of the $1M flower money. Never feel bad about asking for gifts to be unrestricted.

The roses are popping this year. Had to prune and tie one pretty heavily that had collapsed over the sidewalk, but I’ve always loved our rosebed.
JERRY: they're all coping about the pope
GEORGE: because the pope is woke?
JERRY: because the pope is woke
GEORGE: so... it's pope cope?
JERRY: it's woke pope cope, George, woke pope cope!
I just got the notice that a kickstarter I backed almost two years ago had finally shipped my order.
Whatever you think you’re too late to do, you can do it anyway.
