I believe this is from the Iona Community, but we love to just call everything "Celtic!"
Matt Walsh is pushing the town where my parents live as some kind of ideal Americana, and I doubt it’s an accident that he’s using a picture of a store called WHITE’S Mercantile.
I’m late to this, but nothing says this moment in our country like a Waymo on fire on the 4th of July.
When it's warm enough in SF to leave home without a light jacket:
What a great day for the Church! 5 new priests and 2 new deacons. Even the electricity going out midway through the service couldn’t stop the Holy Spirit. ⚓️
Truly, the man is awful, but this meme makes me laugh every single time.
In a flex that I didn’t know I was waiting for, I fielded the question, “What are seraphim and cherubim?” during coffee hour (we’d sung 2 hymns mentioning them), and I just rolled up the sleeve of my alb. ⚓️
I took our dog to go see the new sculptures in the park, and she DID NOT LIKE THEM. As we got closer, she growled, barked, & raised her hackles. So giant crows are a no from Ruthie.
Success! Made it up to the top of Mt. Livermore. Current status: enjoying a beer on the ferry.
Today I was having feelings about my dog’s muzzle getting grayer, and I realized it’s also her Gotcha Day. Happy 5 Years with Ruth Bader Ginsbark!
Sorry not sorry that I’m up in Sonoma at our parish retreat with THESE VIEWS, and no one told me about this part of being a priest.
At a gala where Nancy Pelosi is giving an award, and she just quoted the gospel of Matthew but somehow Republicans are the only Christians.
London is wild because what do you MEAN I stumbled across Charles Wesley’s grave while walking from coffee?!?! ⚓️
Us with Wendy & Brian Froud, whom you might know from their work on Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, etc.
We came to England for my husband to meet his heroes, and all I had to do was dress up like a fairy.
