Marriage is interesting because there's no one you love more, spending more time with, understand better... And also what the hell are they talking about?!

We didn't just agree on a timeline we wrote it down how did we still have different expectations?!

You are not responsible for things you didn't do. Slavery. Jim Crow. You shouldn't be held accountable for any of that from the past!

Unless you defend and downplay those things now and actively promote erasing the history of people who have been the victims of extraordinary violence.

2008ish, Robert Bricker teaching drawing class at McGuffey Art Center in Cville and some teenage boys were standing on the hill nearby so that they could peer in through the window and gawk at the nude model. Bricker stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Take an art class. Improve yourself!"

Anglicans have a plurality of views on pretty much everything, so our theologians always start with scripture and tend to argue that their position is the more conservative or Orthodox of the options.

(Not the process theologians, the stone cold weirdos, he says lovingly)

Look buddy we can do this the easy way or the hard way...

And if you know the easy way will you please tell me?

I think I'd probably like it.

Hey Episcopalians and other liturgically minded denominations and especially anyone who marks the traditional Church seasons...

I get why you might give up social media during parts of the year in order to Center yourself. Do you know who's not doing that?! All the other kinds of Christians!!

The assumption that our politics is so "divided" that if I'm criticizing an administration you voted for I must be for the "other side" is crazy. I was born in this country. I'm a g*ddamn American. I ought to criticize every elected and appointed official in this country. Especially my guys!
