“It is easier to push a rope through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter into the Economy of God.” — Luke 18:25

Outdoor photo. Text visible in the image reads: ""Blessed are the poor, for the Economy of God belongs to them."".

Blessed are the poor, for the Economy of God belongs to them.

Chapter 7 is fully drafted.

No idea where I’ll go in chapter 8.

It’s even better than it sounds.

Still flabbergasted that liberation theology was so looked down upon where I went to seminary in New England.

I learned about liberation theology at college in a redder than red state. The class was packed. But I was the only one who signed up at my ostensibly liberal seminary.

The economy of God transcends and surpasses mere socialism and capitalism.

Or: God was with you at the beginning of your journey. It is right that God should follow you to its end.

With a side of Gingrich. He changed Congress to a winner take all ethos.

One of the great shames of my life is writing a praise song to 2 Chronicles 7:14 when I was a high school tongue talker.

Thankfully, it didn’t catch on.

Jesus learned as his ministry progressed. Which is scandalous to some. (What? Jesus didn’t already know everything??)

But a person who can’t learn isn’t a person, they’re a thing.

Why would anyone follow a person who never knew the joy of learning?

Good morning, beloved.

Liberation is not a zero sum game.

We can all be made whole at the same time.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Everyone says it, but it’s not strong enough.

It’s not Christian nationalism — it’s Christian fascism.

Now that I’m well into middle age, I learn that I’m AuDHD. Found out at my med check last week.

So much life to rethink now!

The most important thing to understand about hippariomagicist christology is that Jesus gets his powers from Rainbow Dash. That’s why she’s always there when he does a miracle in the Gospels.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Unspoken expectations shall not be met.

Would it be great if Bluesky came back from the dead Sunday morning?

I regret not conditioning my cat to do what I want him to. Now he acts like a cat.

I don’t have the patience for books, but I’m writing one.

Make that make sense.

(I suppose next I’ll be starting a podcast.)

So not fair if you have that and I don’t.

(But I have the Asherah pole, so there!)

No, I will not.

I want this so badly.

Archons are not evil, and they do not choose. No, we make all their choices for them.

To play God you better know what you’re doing.

I couldn’t watch it tonight. It’s not that I couldn’t bear it, it’s that I was on the way home from the pub.

But also: I couldn’t bear it.

I haven’t been to a (real) Seder, but Elijah wins it every time.

We should have been calling it a nuclear weapon prevention agreement all this time. It would be much harder to throw away.

What if Douglas Adams and liberation theology had a love child? And what if that love child rewrote your favorite Bible stories?

I’m working on writing that book.

I do not have to work on my book today. I do not have to work on my book today. I do not have to work on my book today.

There, there. All better now.

I instinctively do not trust people who are outraged for a living, whether on the right or the left.

Righteous indignation burned me out when I was younger. I can’t even imagine living in a constant state of professional wrath.
