I just saw Don’t Breathe 2. It opens exactly like Hanna and closes with the same climactic lines as Return of the Jedi. In the middle, it’s all unwashed bad people trying to kill each other with garden tools. And it’s never intentionally funny. #DontBreathe2

Check in on your friends who fought in Afghanistan. This is a tragic time for them. instagram.com/p/CSiIkUNMoHr/…

Just tried to watch a movie Regal in 4DX. Horrible experience. I made it 10 minutes before I walked out.

Free Guy is the first real summer movie of 2021, and the best. Fun, funny, and a little philosophical. It's what Ready Player One could have been with less angst and more Ryan Reynolds. #FreeGuy

My mother has warned me that, because of the Delta variant, I shouldn't travel to England or Spain next month. England and Spain now have 50% higher rates of COVID vaccinations than Tennessee. I think I'll take that bet.

America needs to repent.

Are we about to repeat this moment? Pray for the people of Afghanistan.

Pope Francis issued a PSA saying vaccines are safe, effective and an "act of love." "Vaccination is a simple but profound way of promoting the common good and caring for each other, especially the most vulnerable," he said. n.pr/2VYagA4

I’m on a church committee @redeemernash. We just voted to distribute $20,000 to help women in Afghanistan, earthquake victims in Haiti, and impoverished local children eat healthier food. God is good!

"Faith over fear" is snake handling.

Maybe the biggest problem Americans have is our self-righteousness.

Today is my last day of work before my sabbatical begins. I’m excited about my upcoming travels, but I know I’ll miss my community. I feel sadness and some anxiety as I prepare for this morning’s Eucharists.

It's a lot easier to judge people when you don't know them.

First day of sabbatical. Driving with my kid to New Mexico. Charlie’s senior year at St John’s College, Santa Fe campus. Today’s goal? Shamrock, Texas.
