Do Something to Mark the Occassion

by Anne Kennedy | Mar 1, 2022 | Biblical Illiteracy, Church Year, False Teachers and Their Enablers, Garden-Variety Malaise, Jesus, Roman Catholics

I have got a lot of crepes to make today, as a supplement to the main event which is Regular Pancakes. Anglicans, at least up here, eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, as an attempt, I think, to shrive their fridges of all the fat, earnestly expecting to eat depressing...

Ask a Different Question

by Anne Kennedy | Feb 23, 2022 | Apostasy, Biblical Illiteracy, Garden-Variety Malaise, The Gospel

My life is a little bit in chaos. Our washer is still on the fritz and we discovered late last night that the children’s loo (that’s what I call it) has “systemic issues,” as in, it was probably installed wrongly 20 years ago and so now there...

I was furiously hiding undesirable Facebook ads in the wee hours, without consideration or thought, when providence intervened and I did not click “I don’t want to see this” or however Facebook puts it. Instead, I watched it twice with rapt attention and read all the...

That Sounds Uncomfortable

by Anne Kennedy | Jan 9, 2022 | Biblical Illiteracy, Church Year, Eschatology, False Teachers and Their Enablers, Garden-Variety Malaise, Go to Church, Jesus

There is ice careening from the sky at this dark, early hour. I don’t know what that portends for the worship of God in his church (building) this morning. It may be that the Lord will have to have everyone’s attention on zoom or something ghastly like that. To keep...
