Let’s be clear. Nobody is eating cats. Immigrants are NOT coming for your pets. Anyone including a former POTUS who says so is wrong and needs to be mentally examined. On the other hand, cat ladies vote, and so do the rest of us who love and support cat ladies.

Another great listening session with living witnesses of the Charismatic and Jesus Movements in Seattle; this time at Bethany Presbyterian Church. We even sang through the youth songbook from the 1970’s.

The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been guaranteed, which means we can’t take it for granted. We need to keep fighting for it, keep improving it,

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the

Unholy crap! My Vigiliae Christianae article just dropped. I argue that an apparently lost letter of Valentinus–on Jesus's lack of excrement–is preserved in Basil of Caesarea's letter collection. https://t.co/IeteAZZtv2

I'm getting off of social media for Lent (save Sundays), but I wanted to share a link to my Ash Wednesday homily before officially exiting. It draws from @Fred_Buechner's essay, "To See is to Love," and it commends the practice of un-hiding for Lent. https://t.co/RcHQvHpp4O
