Just a reminder that reciting the Magnificat counts as praying for your government leaders.

I have friends from high school whose last name is Hooker. The first Sunday at a new church my dad was pastoring, we open the bulletin to read an announcement that says "youth group pool party at the Hookers." It was a fun 10 minutes of confusion!

This man is literally the villain from an Austin Powers movie.

Ah yes. The well known apocryphal book.

The smartest parenting move I ever made was convincing my kids that the tooth fairy doesn't actually want you to leave your tooth under your pillow. She prefers it on your bedside table.

She has the best lines! 😂

"The most difficult tickets to get will be for a Broadway musical...That means that the performers will periodically dance about and burst into song."

May the protestors in Chicago be safe.
May their care for their fellow human beings inspire a nation in desperate need of humanity.
May this be the worst it gets.

And if it must get worse
(for it will get worse)
May we cultivate strong wills and soft hearts.
And may we keep protesting.

When Paul says to Timothy, "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you" that might just be one of the loveliest statements in all of scripture." 🥹

Love the original, but I think the remake is actually a bit better!

I did "He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly" for my last sign.

I don't know anyone in real life who does this.

My timeline is full of news about the new (female!) archbishop of Canterbury. I have curated it correctly.

You expect me to fight fascism AND plan 5 different outfits for my kid's school spirit week?

A street at night: colorful buildings are on either side and bright rainbow colored flags are suspended over the top of the street.

A colorful animal statue sits in the street in front of Santo Domingo Church.

Yep! Our governor signed an executive order authorizing pharmacists to write a script for it for people 3+ and I still haven't tracked down actual locations for my kids yet. Looks like finding a pharmacy for my 6 yo will be doable. Not sure yet about my 4 yo.
