1. What level of protection does Edina Larm provide? 2. EdinAlarm is a great band name 3. What genre do you think EdinAlarm would be?

The 38th st DQ parking lot does not disappoint (again) - near pandemonium. And yes it will be in my sermon tomorrow (religion doesn’t need to be this difficult) Also, that’s south Minneapolis’ very own Waldorf and Statler yelling comments at drivers

I really feel like the city of Minneapolis is missing a golden tourism opportunity. "Can't make it to Washington to see the algae in the Reflecting Pool? No problem, we've got something even better: Diamond Lake, and it's not even the algaeist lake of our 10,000 lakes"

I always say it’s impossible to ride a bike and ☹️. It’s a great way to pedal off anger, frustration and even fear (it’s not a replacement for therapy or medication) but it is its own miracle drug.

I am thinking about offering a bible study in the fall based on Walter Wink's transformative model. I know most folks in the twin cities will roll their eyes at another bible study... so here is my thought, call it: "Liberal BS"

29 years ago today my lovely bride were married. What a ride it has been! As I look back on this picture which do I miss the most my head of golden brown locks or my 1996 ford ranger? Definitely the truck!

happy West Virginia Day everyone. for the record, when John Denver wrote Country Roads he lived in Edina, MN.

I feel like meme makers are missing a golden opportunity with the blue paint coming off the Reflecting Pool and Tobias’ blue hand prints all over the Bluth house

Goodnight Minneapolis, it was a good day.

If a progressive/social justice/inclusive gospel revival breaks out at Judson Church this fall…51% Holy Spirit, 49% Mister Rogers @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social notebooks!

Evening Prayer Rain delay converts Target field into a sizable World Cup viewing party

Bad Bunny inspires me Bugs Bunny makes me think Thumper and Miss Bunny make me smile But my favorite bunny is south Minneapolis’ own: Pride Bunny (this bunny keeps justice rolling)

I love the theology found spray painted on trash can in south Minneapolis. I know people in their 80s who still haven’t acquired the grace to say these three simple words:

We’re rocking the 49th and Lyndale intersection and by rocking I mean just hanging out

The lake house is open, 🥰 another summer at lake nokomis

The goal for Judson Church was to have the most interesting church booth/table at Open Streets Lyndale. I think we’re gonna do it! 🚲 and pet blessings, music, dancing, learn to knit a prayer shawl, bring your Kate DiCamillo book to be signed, make a donation to mutual aid and more. See you Sunday

I hope sometime in my career someone says, “the grace in his sermons was soft on the soul, like a handful of cottonwood seeds”

Twins are down 5-0 but the weather is gorgeous

I’m not gonna win a best home cook idea James Beard award for this or anything (but I should) grilled pork chops with grilled rhubarb. And why dont MN restaurants feature the savory side of rhubarb?

Bike ❤️ The Dutch dink (but American 🚲 aren’t made for that) and they hold hands (our bike lanes ain’t wide enough) However Americans still have a ❤️ language all our own…today I saw a guy cradling two iced ☕️s & steering with his other hand for his date while the date eyed him lovingly on their 🚲

Saturday @Home Depot: -A young woman (my height 5’11) just jumped up and got a hanging pot 10 feet up -Middle age worker telling a teenager, “That’s not how forgiveness works” -shoppers hellbent on snapping my Achilles tendon w/their carts -bike parking almost as bad as kwolaskis on Chicago Ave

Some mornings it’s the bagel express, some mornings it’s the donut and rhubarb express

Happy Pentecost to those who celebrate

For a men’s bathroom I feel the vigorous scrubbing of my arms a bit excessive for handwashing 101, seems more like 301 level class Love the eagles club

A little Pentecost thrifting - found my backup preaching tee for Sunday.

Dear @peggyflanagan.bsky.social I have a better than average MN-focused ad for your campaign, describe your opponent this way, “they’re all leaf and no stalk!” (Also, this might be the first time rhubarb has ever made it into a political campaign)

@mcbl.bike spotted in the wild. I stopped to say hello and it replied, “you can lock me up, but I’ll never be tamed!”

Thousands of people…waiting on a train.

Lori and I are loving the bike viewing stage at Indeed. AAW is amazing this year

All of these people are here to buy my daughters art. She’s in the Q.arma building, second floor
