Thursday in Holy Week

Last updated on: April 14, 2022 at 7:29 am By Anne Kennedy

As I am rushing into the day again, after a bit of a failed Tennebrae noise (please, dear Jesus, don’t come back before next year so I can have just one more chance to get it right before the apocalypse), I happened to come across this interesting tweet that sets the tone very nicely for the contemplation of God’s mighty acts in saving the world: I just want things to be normal again… So many people have become weird over...

Last updated on: April 13, 2022 at 7:57 am By Anne Kennedy

Well, I have still so so much to do, including cleaning my house and trying to figure out where to put three bookshelves worth of books that have been shoved into the hallway because the experiment of the two oldest girls trying to share a room has mercifully come to an end. Nature, as it were, is healing. And yet I have got now to figure out where to put all the stuff rejected by both girls. And one thing... Read more

Sorry about muddling up the podcast yesterday. It was right in some places, and wrong in others. I think you can listen to it here if you got frustrated and wandered away. Although, if you did wander away, especially to do something like pray, that would be perfectly sensible. Anyway, verily verily I say unto you, I do not have very much time to blog this week. I’ve been up for a long time already doing other things, and am... Read more

It is a bright, if chilly day here in the Northeast, and we are already tired, but also gearing up for the best week of the year–#holyweek2022. I’ve already stepped up my Instagram posting, so as not to miss any important moment, and we’ve also done a shortish podcast about why it’s fine for us to be both reformed and high church at the same time, how trying to manifest things is totally not a good deal, why Matt hates...

Still not able to upload new pics, but this one works pretty well. Photo Credit: My Child Really, there has never been a better moment to be on the cusp of a whole week where you can go to church almost every day because Jesus died on the cross for your sins. I have two bad bad tidbits in my pocket this morning that are both super discouraging and dumb, so brace yourselves. First up, Kathy Hochul, governor of the... Read more

This is a much better prayer, if you’re casting around for something to say to God and don’t know where to begin.

I know I’m cycling through the same four pictures, but for some reason, I’m not able to upload any new ones. Sorry! There is a lot of bad stuff out there today, but the bad thing I dislike the most is this wretched take on the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus: https://twitter.com/ReformationCLT/status/1511308209729982475?s=20&t=qmtQNki_ff4iSQ9ey2GNiw So, of course, it’s possible this person is trolling all Bible Readers everywhere, but it’s also possible that he really thinks that this is what the text is...

First of all, this pithy thing is absolutely brilliant and reminded me that I should be having a better time than I am. This crazy moment should be a lot of fun because it’s so crazy (except that it’s so tragic, of course). And, for real, I was cheated during the Trump years. That promised to be the funniest of all funny times, but instead of laughing at ourselves in the corporate way that would have cleared the emotional fog... Read more

It is a gray day here in the Northeast, and we have lots of work, but we have taken a moment to do up a decently lengthed, or perhaps really shorter podcast complaining about the things we usually do complain about. This week it’s Matt having a cold, being incensed about Disney, the destruction of children, and Love Actually. It’s really all that you could possibly expect. Don’t have very many links because I was reading a real book. But... Read more

Here we are at another Lenten Friday. I think I can rustle up some links to stuff that will be far more scintillating than trying to think of anything new. One This Lent hasn’t been a total failure so far, though I haven’t blogged in the way that I intended, as in, I kept not blogging at all. BUT, the one good post I managed I have reworked and you can read it here: “I invite you, therefore, in the... Read more
