*"On Easter morn!*we celebrate our Savior!*Whatever people seek in Him!*they find!*In history!*there has never been another!*So holy!*sacrificial!*good!*& kind!"

—Joanna Fuchs

*~*Hebrews 12:1-2*~*

*~*Jesus, Founder!*& Perfecter of Our Faith!*~*

*~*Therefore!*since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses!*let us also lay aside every weight!*& sin which clings so closely!*& let us run with endurance the race that is set before us!*looking to Jesus!*the founder!*& perfecter of our faith!*who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross!

Been a few weeks, but here's a new post on the ol' blog (and not the one I accidentally deleted last night!), wherein I use a deeply nerdy Godzilla discussion as a launchpad for a discussion on narrative theology.

"Ever flipped through your #history book and wondered “Why are all the #Jews wearing these funny #hats?”

You find it all over #Christian #art from stained glass windows to manuscripts, the #Judenhat (“#Jewish #hat”) can be traced back to #medieval #Europe.

You can even find it in the Bird’s Head Haggadah and some other Jewish books of the time! Originally a marker of eastern learning, antiquity and authority, and even fashionable with 12th century aristocracy, things took a dark turn as Jews were depicted wearing the hat while killing #Jesus. Paired with a “Jewish nose”, the hat can even sometimes still be seen in #Antisemitic depictions of Jews today."

It's time for my periodic reminder that #MAGA completely ignore the rather dire warning that #Jesus gave all #Christians in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats which you can read in full in the link below.

I'm not here to disagree with your religion or lack thereof, only to call out the utter #hypocracy of the far right #Republicans falsely claiming to be doing God's work.

"They don't want to follow #Jesus. They want Jesus to follow them and whisper, 'You are doing fine. You don't need to #change. I have the same #enemies you do.'"

Wishing a meaningful and resistance-filled #Lenten season for my #Christian friends who observe it.
May the season remind you of the ways that #Jesus lived his life as an organizer of poor people to seek a better way to be in the world through non-cooperation with the empire.

*DEAR Heavenly Father!*thank You SO MUCH for forgiving all my sins!*for the sake of Your Son!*DEAR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE Remind me of Your grace!*& mercy each day!*In Jesus’ name I pray!*Amen!

*DEAR Heavenly Father!*thank You SO MUCH for forgiving all my sins!*for the sake of Your Son!

*DEAR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE Remind me of Your grace!*& mercy each day!

*In Jesus’ name I pray!

*Amen!

Happy Sunday to my Christian Friends.
