Why We Should Continue to “Lift Every Voice and Sing” What better way to wrap up my Black History Month series than with talking about the black national anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing"? This'll be another—you guessed it—lyric breakdown, so buckle up. I'll be giving some historical and cultural background on this song, but I'll also be looking at how it can apply in a broader sense today. I also won't be covering every part because I wanted to focus on others.

Sorry this post is a day late and being published so late, but I wanted to get this last post out before the month's over. Thank you to everyone who's tuned into this series. Read on to see how this poem inspired this post (and see a Sanctuary announcement at the end).

Friends were talking about having a haunted couch: "It has a poltergeist."

Smirking because I was handed the perfect setup: "More like an upholstered-geist."

Forgot how much of a vibe "DNA" by BTS is. Currently listening to it at a beer hall 🫰

The big in pacific rim where gottlieb talks about double events, standing in front of the giant chalkboard
    In the beginning, the Kaiju attacks were spaced by 24 weeks. Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In four days, we could be seeing a Kaiju every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within seven days.

A graphic for Aromantic Awareness Week (February 16-22). It has 3 pictures: the too of a group of people side hugging each other with the text “Just as Valid” at the top, a picture of the Sanctuary ministers in the middle with the text “Just as Loving” at the top, and a bottom picture of two males with the text “Just as real” at the bottom. The colors are all aro-themed, and the Sanctuary logo’s in the bottom right corner

Let’s Talk About Nationalism Yes, I'm using Black Panther to talk about nationalism. Yes, I'm doing this for Black History Month. As usual, stay with me for this one. It's gonna be a ride. Black Panther is one of my favorite Marvel movies. After rewatching it a few months ago, I re-fell in love with it and remembered how well done it was. I also noticed a few things, one that I wasn't completely comfortable with given the country I live in and everything happening in it.

Sorry this post is a day late; had to sit on some of my thoughts with this one. This is probably one of my most controversial posts to date, but just hear me out, okay? I promise it's worth it.

We Have the Answer—We Just Don’t Like It Life's toughest questions don't have satisfying answers. That's where faith comes in. In this post, I explain why our attempts to understand complex spiritual issues only leave us with more questions and how we can be OK with uncertainty.

Why Sinners Do It Better Didn’t formally make an announcement about doing a themed series for Black History Month, so consider this it. And to start things off, I wanna talk about the movie Sinners. I saw it for the first time this past Friday. I noticed that it was free on Prime (suspiciously during BHM, but…hey, movie I didn’t have to pay to see on a streaming service I’m already paying to watch movies and shows on), so I checked it out.

So I have another new obsession, and it's the movie Sinners. But like my Hazbin posts, there's a lesson that saints can learn from these sinners. Read on to see what I mean.

What is Privilege? The word "privilege" is often thrown around to the cheers of some, and the offense of others. How does it relate to - shape, impact, and create - thoughts about our spiritual lives? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guests Worship Pastor Nik Lewis and Minister Charlie Reep (Sanctuary Charlotte) for a conversation about all things privilege and why learning about such shows us much about our interactions with faith.

So You Regret Voting for the Sitting President… Now what? In this post, I explain how to cope with the disappointment and where to shift your focus now that you’ve changed your mind.

This post is a bit old but still relevant today given *gestures vaguely to everything happening in the US right now*

How many times can the viral AI cover of "Thong Song" show up in my Release Radar on Spotify? Counting today, at least 5 times by different "artists" 😒

Tried the flute after a 10-year break. Holy breath support, Batman 😵 I forgot how much air and muscle memory I needed to play.

A graphic of a black male in the top left corner with “Celebrate” at the top, a photo of a black woman in the top right corner with “Shine” at the top, a photo of me in the bottom left corner with “Endure” at the bottom, and a photo of a black male with “Thrive” at the bottom. The text in the middle reads, “Black History Month” and has the Sanctuary logo beneath it
