I loved the couple of seconds where he is telling Linda about the slash chords in With A Little Luck. They are wonderfully unusual with a little dissonance, for sure.

Citing 'Two Corinthians,' Trump Struggles To Make The Sale To Evangelicals Donald Trump went to Liberty University, a Christian conservative school, in hopes of winning over the faithful. He stumbled and likely didn't change Ted Cruz's advantage with the group.

Context, in case anyone needs a reminder that the president is a fake Christian elected by fake Christians.

The Next Step--January 29, 2026 The Next Step--January 29, 2026 "What I mean is that each of you says, 'I belong to Paul,' or 'I belong to Apollos,' or 'I belong to Cephas,...

Jesus' way is marked by love for all, truth-telling even when it is costly, humility in serving, commitment to doing justice especially for the most vulnerable, and a welcome to the least, the lost, and the left-out.

Hey mutual aid people.

I need $400, today, and I'm asking you to trust me when I don't give any details.

I'm not asking folks who don't know what I do to do anything. But if you do and you can, now is one of those times. And it's timely.

If you are celebrating the state murder of someone who was protecting a bystander today, you better not be worshipping the Messiah who died on the cross for us tomorrow because those two things are not compatible. Jesus was also killed by the state for protecting innocent people.

A monk in black vestments walks through a snowy night toward the monastery dormitory with his back to the camera. It's almost dark, and you can see the monk's shadow from the lamppost. Monochrome.

MAGA Jesus Is Not the Real Jesus Trump is causing incalculable damage to the Christian faith, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

New music!

It's a bit early for Lent (I'm traveling this month) so I've got new music in honor of St. Elisabeth Fedde that's organized to accompany prayer using a Lenten Lutheran rosary - designed by Rev. J.M. Longworth.
