A few potential band names from the most recent episode:

Temporary Anus
Accidental Cannibal
Cat Rapture (or Rapture Cat)

Often getting the meaning of a Biblical text clear in my own mind, so that I can make it clear to the minds of others, involves me doing a lot of work and creating what would look like a terrible mess to those others...

Maybe... I think I would melt in Alabama though.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I gave up coffee + sweets for #Lent. Turns out #TotalDepravity is real.

2006. This book started a journey for me that is still going. So thankful.

Also nice people and the best food on the planet.

Had the opportunity to go to #Thailand. These are my people. Either they are just discovering the grunge era + hard rock of the 90's or they have been rightly celebrating it ever since.

I go to a restaurant: #Nirvana and #Evanescence. At the hardware store: #StoneTemplePilots and #LinkinPark 👍

@matthewkaemingk.bsky.social

it needs to be said that while democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by musk, CNN and MSNBC are showing the entirety of a trump press conference.

Did... the *free* #Evernote program just hold my years' worth of notes hostage unless I agree to a paid subscription?🤪

He would also make fun of them with cleverness and probably a significant degree of vulgarity.

I was already a Hauerwas fan, but in my one encounter with the man (asking him to sign a book), he lightly remarked that many in my tradition (Dutch Reformed) were assholes 😂.

These points by Hauerwas are not even that controversial...

Sorry you had to endure this. I am sure I quoted Hauerwas in my sem experience (schools that were not in the Hauerwasian strain), but I never got a reaction like this.

Wow. This is so... anti-academic.

Since all truth is God's truth, even those with whom we disagree with ideologically may well have things to teach us.

Out of respect for the legacy of Jimmy Carter, I think it only appropriate that the Trump Presidency be canceled.

Religious Leaders Praise Frmr Prez Jimmy Carter's 'Shining Example' From the pope to many evangelicals, faith leaders from across the religious spectrum are lauding Jimmy Carter following news of his death.

From the Pope to various Jewish groups to several Protestant faith figures, leaders across the religious spectrum are lauding Jimmy Carter.

One Baptist leader praised how Carter urged believers to "join Jesus in bringing good news (and) freedom for the oppressed."

My 4th grade teacher *made me* read it. I was only interested in non fiction books at the time. It is no exaggeration to say that this fascinating book opened up worlds to me and deeply influenced the trajectory of my life (I am a Bible teacher and the Bible demands a healthy imagination).

You are certainly right. I suspect some things in this book would make me more than uncomfortable if I read it today.
