Once More Into The Breach Podcast and Links

Last updated on: April 12, 2021 at 9:14 am By Anne Kennedy

It is an excessively gray day here in the North East, and I have a lot of things to do, but nevertheless, we’ve done a longish podcast going back round through all the Jesus and John Wayne flap of the last week. We explain our motivations, and yet again what it means to be a Christian, and why heresy is cruel, and the difference between that and just being wrong, and why tone does matter. Hope it’s helpful! I don’t... Read more

7 Takes In All Directions

Last updated on: April 9, 2021 at 9:11 am By Anne Kennedy

All my Easter Flowers gathered on the kitchen counter. I wasn’t going to blog today because I’m so tired, but the habit is too deep-rooted… One So sad to hear about Prince Philip! May he rest in the light of God’s eternal peace! It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor... Read more

What To Make Of That Revelation You Had

Last updated on: April 8, 2021 at 8:59 am By Anne Kennedy

Someone tagged me on twitter with this article and because I don’t tweet very well, I will just say one or two things about it here, because blogging is the thing that I like best, though all the world tweets and tweets. It’s by Beth Allison Barr who has a book coming out soon, and it’s called “I knew the truth about women in the Bible, and I stayed silent.” It is full of lines like this: It wasn’t actually...

Self-Flagellate for the Kingdom of Heaven is Near

Last updated on: April 7, 2021 at 10:53 am By Anne Kennedy

Well, it’s been an exciting week. Not only did my review of Jesus and John Wayne make so many people angry, but Rachel Hollis is busy being canceled for her unrelatability. I must say, it’s so hard to choose between the two, and the other interesting events of the day. But perhaps the most epic thing for me–maybe epic is too exciting a word–is that I have been subtweeted for the first time to my knowledge. I don’t know, of... Read more

Happy Easter Podcast and Links

This little tulip came up exactly in the same way, all by itself, just this week. It is a bright sunny day here in Bing, which is a very nice change from the gray cold of Holy Week. We did a short rambling podcast about how the week went, and some foolish tweets, and how I need to get someone to make another table for church but we are having technical problems so it will be a while before it...

Would I Have Told You

Last updated on: April 4, 2021 at 7:39 am By Anne Kennedy

I’m over at Stand Firm today. [Basically what I said at the Vigil last night] “Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week”—records Matthew, in the gospel for the first service of Easter. I get stuck on the word “now,” or have all this year. Having, a month or two ago, to have written about that expression—You Only Live Once, hashtag YOLO–only increased the trouble. Besides there being a lot of different ways to... Read more

Three Things on Maundy Thursday

Last updated on: April 1, 2021 at 8:39 am By Anne Kennedy

Me thinking about moderating the comments on my blog. The First Thing Happy April Fool’s Day! It is snowing. Isn’t that fun. I have a lot of things to do today, chief of which is finishing The Eustace Diamonds which is becoming so stressful I almost cannot bear it. I know I should be meditating on the passion of the Christ–and I will, I promise!–but in between times I’m going to clean everything and listen to this book. One thing... Read more

Ten Things that Literally Happened

Last updated on: March 31, 2021 at 8:30 am By Anne Kennedy

In my sojourning through Holy Week, I really like this tweet: https://twitter.com/pseudophilo/status/1377051216509722626?s=20 The tweeter, who is not someone I know as I know personally, nor have ever heard of, which is the way of things now, is presumably trying to relish some kind of gotcha. Those foolish people (even adults!) who only believe in literal things about the Bible, and don’t understand that it is all a metaphor, how wretched and stupid of them. Therefore, in the spirit of enjoying... Read more

The Irony of the Blood

Last updated on: March 30, 2021 at 8:16 am By Anne Kennedy

I could never have prophisied that the thing rattling around at the back of the internet on this most holiest of weeks would be the mashup of tennis shoes and Satan. After talking about it yesterday, a kind reader sent along this Time’s article in which Nike distances itself from Lil Nas X and the drop of human blood thing: Mr. Greenberg noted that Nike was not involved in the process “in any capacity.” In a statement on Sunday, Nike...
