Bible class tonight will feature Sazeracs: the official cocktail of New Orleans. As for me, I’ll just be drinking absinthe (when I began serving here, it was illegal). There is something very Lutheran about Mephisto absinthe and Redemption rye.
When life hands you demons… command them to enter a herd of pigs, drown the pigs, mercilessly cast the demons into the abyss, and then into the lake of fire. Follow Jesus for more life hacks! ❤️
Paul takes the opportunity to mount a legal defense for himself, but as always, he pivots to talking about Jesus. In Paul’s case, the reason he is always in trouble is because of Jesus. Today's Devotion, by @RevLarryBeane open.substack.com/pub/revlarrybe…
Time to grow up, kids. Chuck is headed to the slammer. 👮♀️
Chuck E. Cheese was just arrested for credit card fraud. 🤣 🐭 He ruined the lives of a bunch of 5 year olds. 🤣

Socialism is utterly predictable.
This is what a "government-funded" grocery store looks like. Empty shelves rotting food at the taxpayer's expense. This is what Democrats want for America
Tariffs can affect prices, but that is not inflation. Inflation is the increase in the money supply, and it is intentional. We have inflation because the Fed is creating inflation. They know what they're doing. But maybe the TV talking heads really are that stupid.
MSDNC: "The worst predictions that inflation was going to be fueled by this new tariffs regime have not turned out to be the case." I love Bessent's smug face as MSNBC had to admit that
Interestingly, the name of Jesus spreads the faith, whether proclaimed by Paul or misused by unbelievers. The name of Jesus truly has the power to overcome evil and to redeem those who confess Him Today's Devotion, by @RevLarryBeane open.substack.com/pub/revlarrybe…
Guy kidnaps 26 children, buried them alive, and was convicted. The governor of California paroled him. Judge won’t say if this is a good decision or not. She’s no King Solomon. youtu.be/pwy_Ttndjg0?si…
We understand politics and war as breakdowns of decent human society, as worse than zero-sum because they make us poorer--materially and otherwise. But the same can be said for litigation in America. A litigious society is a sick society. A significant percentage of lawsuits are…
Both characters are intense, loyal, fearless, and they show self-sacrificial devotion to one another - as well as to doing what is good, right, and honorable. They do not live merely for themselves. The Gorge, by @RevLarryBeane open.substack.com/pub/revlarrybe…
So even as evangelism in one group is frustrated, doors are opening to others. Today's Devotion, by @RevLarryBeane open.substack.com/pub/revlarrybe…
This is the power of the Word of God, as well as a testimony to how prayers should not be wandering conversational space-filling. Prayers which make use of Scripture are prayers that bear substance. Today's Devotion, by @RevLarryBeane open.substack.com/pub/revlarrybe…
We clearly need more economic education when the WNBA loses $10M a year and the Colbert Show loses $40M a year - and angry normies blame sexism and Trump for lower salaries and cancellation. This isn’t even Econ 101, it’s basic arithmetic.
It was delightful to have a lot of visitors at this morning’s Mass! I did not get pics. It is probably just as well so the attendees can fly under the radar. 😂 Blessings on your sojourn, dear brothers and sisters.
