Priest, lover of critters, baseball, and Jesus

To my new followers: Welcome! I’m assuming you stopped by because your attention was arrested by a picture of Ella, my Great Pyrenees. Understandable. I’m an Episcopal priest who loves God, baseball, and my husband. I’m fiercely on the side of the underdog and those for whom life is hard.
Mornings with Ella. 🌅

I was about to cry listening to this. I might use the last words of Renee and Michael and Margaret and Taliesin the next time I preach on Father forgive. Because empire has demanded resistance from the beginning of time.
