It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Nashville… so what are the fun or delicious things/places to go?

Tell me all your secrets…

So… who else has watched the Netflix Documentary Unknown Number?

Because…. What????

TikTok is influencing me again…

If I threw a monthly themed dinner party (or like a Saturday lunch party), who would come?

(TBH— I probably invented the concept with wine & pie, right?)

"The early Methodists did not set out to love the church, they set out to love the people. We must love the people more than the church."
~ Bishop Dan Schwerin

A Word.

TikTok keeps showing me clips from Parenthood…

I think I’m being influenced for it to be my summer rewatch.

So since everything comes back into fashion eventually, will my infinity scarves be coming back anytime soon or is it safe to get rid of them?

Phew… thank goodness April Fools Day is over and I can go back to believing everything on the internet is true.

(Also, not everything on the internet is true…I sadly feel like that needs to be said.)

Lenten Update (if you were wondering...)
I'm having conversations with people with complicated relationships with church/faith/God or consider themselves atheist/agnostic... They've been wonderful and beautiful conversations.

If you had been wandering a wilderness for say... 40 days... What would the comfort food you'd want when you emerge?

Chocolate cookies & Milk?
Cinnamon Rolls?
Biscuits and gravy?
Something else?

Playlist recommendations... I'm putting together a playlist for failures. A failure playlist if you will... Either songs about failure or songs that you listen to when you've had a failure... Or your own interpretation to that!

Ready, set... go!

Midwest Life— in the same weekend you have: 70 degree weather, tornado sirens, and snow.

Fake spring was great while it lasted!

Today’s ministry adventures included:
*memorial service planning & sermon writing
*beautiful conversations about faith and life
*emails, emails, and more emails
And the day concluded:
*getting to officiate the wedding of a super sweet couple 💖💖

Yall… I think Lent came in like a Lion! 🦁🦁

Ash Wednesday happenings:
*more than 20 people drove in/dropped in for ashes & communion (many folks from the community)
*we had conversations around death & grief, love & loss, what is Lent, the love of Jesus, and more

The thin places are such mysterious places to find oneself… I consider it a humbling privilege to be invited into the spaces that are so tender and holy.

It was about a decade ago that my Lenten discipline was to talk with folks who considered themselves atheist, agnostic, or had a complicated relationship with God... And the world has changed so much... So, I think it's time to do it again.

It happened in real time tonight… my nephew made a comment, “That person looks really old… like they’re from the 1900’s.”

So, I can start giving talks about the ancient times…

Some weeks in ministry: You get messages that you're sending people to hell because you're a woman in ministry... You get told you're not a real church because you believe God loves everyone...

Out of curiosity… is there any musical artist that would perform at a SuperBowl halftime show that everyone would say, “That was so great!”

Genius idea number 537492

Baby Goats at the Board of Ordained Ministry Meetings. They can be emotional support animals or entertainment.

I also volunteer to take care of them and bring them with me at all conference events.

Well, “Did Jesus Say That?” Is the favorite… so, I have a list or things attributed to Jesus or phrases claimed to be in the Bible, but actually aren’t… but, do you have any favorite or least favorite? Or maybe questions— is this in the Bible somewhere?

Sunday before Lent starts… would you rather:
1.) King Cake
2.) Paczki
3.) Pancakes

Hypothetically speaking… (or maybe not.)

I have 3 weeks in between sermon series (before Lent starts...)

Would you want to hear sermon(s) on:

Lesser Known Bible Stories
Did Jesus say that? (Things people attribute to JC, but he didn't really say...)
The book of Ruth
The book of Esther
Mercy & Compassion
(Insert your suggestion here.)

Time is weird… like a month ago it was Christmas.

Today is day 528384738 of January and there are still 25474893622 more to go.

Also… winter.

Apparently Saturday February 1 is ice cream for breakfast day… but like if we celebrate on February 2 at church, that’s ok, right?

Also, hypothetically… like should we have Ice cream waffles? Ice cream sundaes? Milkshakes? (And maybe not hypothetically…)

It’s that time… what color do I want to paint my hair?
