I'm gonna try and go back to Friday fasting from social media.

Saying this out loud here so as to make myself do it.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

There’s no legal reason for this.

Only a few Catholics regularly call themselves Christians.

Who's Lee Greenwood?

46°F. Might take a walk.

I think it was on learning of her actual underlying racism that the Philadelphia Flyers (NHL) stopped using her rendition as their anthem.

The problem with planning to preach one sermon from Song of Songs for Advent is that I am quickly seeing a half dozen Advent sermons in Song of Songs.

Song of Songs is very Advent, imo.

Read to the end of 2 Kings because I just couldn't take the suspense any longer. 🕯

🤣 see you in a bit.

Marguerite @margueritek.bsky.social · 1d

No, that's a mine day. A prime day is when, out for a walk, you see a $10 bill on the sidewalk and leave it for the next person.

No, that's a rime day. A prime day is when you communicate entirely nonverbally by acting out your statements and experiences with imaginary objects

V is for very, very spooky @alana-m-vincent.net · 1d

No, that's a slime day. A prime day is when you're accosted outside a wedding by an old sailor who tells you at length about his voyage to the Antarctic and the spiritual and psychological harms that violence visits upon perpetrators.

I often forget how hard coming out is for most people. Thanks for the reminder.
I tend to take my LGBTQ friends for granted. Not that I should ever take anyone for granted!

Anyhow, bless.

The vet techs are really the VIPs of a vet visit.

Our online study of the book of Daniel continues as we meet again tomorrow -- Tuesday, October 7 -- to look at chapter 4, and the King's second dream.

We'll gather on zoom at 7pm eastern. We'll use the same zoom link as before. Please email the church office ([email protected]) if you need it

explain your user name

It's my name.

Grace Pritchard Burson @gaudynight78.bsky.social · 1d

explain your username:

it's the title of DLS' masterpiece

plus my birth year because when I created my blogspot blog in 2004 plain old "gaudynight" was already taken by some other fan

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 1d

explain your username:

short version: it’s my author pen name

long version: I was going by the initials “CM” on a message board for writers, because it stood for “Chicken Mafia.” People knew me as CM and then suddenly I needed a real name for human interaction purposes.

Because of their age, our cats have to visit the vet every 6 months. But it's been 3+ years since I've been to the doctor.

I just now watched a friend's beautiful live-streamed wedding, and now you had to remind me about Samson! Day ruined.😭
