We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Fall Into Friday, Have A Great Day
It’s Friday and I’m here for it. I hope you all have a great day good people. Don’t forget to do something dorky today.
Today Is Spirit Day – Bringing Awareness To #LGBTQ Bullying #SpiritDay
Spirit Day now occurs every year on the third Thursday in October, during National Bullying Prevention Month, and has become the most visible day of support for LGBTQ youth.
As a person of faith, I know God made us ALL of us in His image. To bully someone for living their truth and for how they love is wrong. LGBTQ folks have a right to happiness and the blessings of their creator. Some of my best friends are people of faith who happen to be a member of the LGBTQ community. I stand with them for being awesome people. Love is Love my good people.
Still Nerdy, Stay Nerdy
As a nerd grows older does, he/she will they still have the enthusiasm about the stuff they are interested in? This is a question I am wondering about. Right now, I am in my 50’s and I am still nerdy about a lot of stuff, and I suppose I have my church (there are loads of nerds there), friends, and the Internet to thank for that. I just hope I don’t lose that sense of curiosity and joy that comes along with being a different sort of dude who sees things from a vastly different lens.
Stay nerdy my friends. Stay nerdy. Be yourself. The world needs us
Life Does Happen
Life has a way of changing quickly. People find themselves in circumstances beyond their control. Everyday is a surprise and you gotta adapt or get left behind.
Your family and your occupation changes and that is always stressful. People lose people for various reasons and sadness is the rule of the day.
Hopefully we have people to walk the chaotic path of changes. The roads of life are never smooth and you need to watch your step.
Peace to you all.
Education For Ministry – Year Four #Episcopal #Anglican
Tonight, I begin the fourth and final year of my religious studies course Education for Ministry. I have surveyed the old and new testaments; church history and this year is theology. This promises to be my favorite year, but I know it will be challenging. This gets into the mechanics of faith, and I am ready for it.
The course is produced by The University of The South which is an Episcopal University in Sewanee, Tennessee. I have learned a lot studying with others and I am grateful for the experience.
