PILGRIM / VAGABOND

Until we realize that things might not be we cannot realize that things are. Until we see the background of darkness we cannot admire the light as a single & created thing. As soon as we have seen that darkness, all light is lightning, sudden, blinding, divine—” GK Chesterton. ~ substack @rosewallace

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.

To all my fellow Christians out there with same sex attraction who still believe that sex is for marriage, and that marriage is between a man and a woman; just know that I love you. I can't wish you a Happy Pride, because we are not celebrating our sin, rather we are trying to resist temptation and live life in such a way that we are drawn closer to God, but I need you to know that I love you and that I understand you.

Our fellow Christians often don't have kind words for us, and the church has yet to understand our need for ministry and companionship, so the temptation to join in and wish one another a "Happy Pride" can be strong. After all, when the church often has nothing good or helpful to say to us, we want to lean in the other direction in order to encourage one another. Because sometimes it feels like its just us against both the church and the world. But instead of celebrating disordered love, let's celebrate God's perfect love. Even if other people find our attraction repulsive and mind-boggling, He loves us for who we are and He remember's our frame. He knows that we are only dust with an innate need to be loved by one another.

So lets love each other, as brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's encourage one another. Not just toward holiness, but toward hope and happiness. Let's gather together and enjoy each other's company, telling stories and jokes that only we can appreciate. Let's celebrate God's love for us, our love for God, and our love for each other. God bless.

The best parts of this Beach Boys concert so far:

$5 junior mints

Drunk 60+ year olds

One man with long white hair who stood by the stage and scream-sang every word of every song while nonstop clapping

The visuals projected on a giant screen behind The Boys showing an impossibly pixelated slideshow of what I assume was every Google image search result for “beach”

At one point one of them announced he’d been to a wedding in Brooklyn once at a Catholic Church and a solid 30 people cheered at the word “Catholic” and one of them screamed “which parish!!!”

At the start of “Be True To Your School” Mike Love got down on one knee and when he stood back up they played a [door creaking] sound effect

[effington]

Part II:

The fact that there was a Part II because there was an intermission so everyone could go to the bathroom

During a cover of “Rock N’ Roll Music” a similar pixelated slideshow of every Google image result for clip art of the words “rock n roll” written in different fonts, we just checked, it’s literally the first page of a search for the words “rock n roll”

During “Barbara Ann” 12-14 white women aged 20-35 in casual clothing came and danced behind them for no discernible reason and everyone looked confused

One of them kissed Mike Love full on the mouth and it did not look like he was prepared

Mike Love performed a song he dedicated to George Harrison apparently inspired by the fact that their birthdays are close called “Pisces Brothers” which PROMINENTLY FEATURES THE LYRICS “HARE KRISHNA / I WILL MISS ‘YA”

When he met women who had been raped during the war in Bosnia, he listened without speaking. He wept. He told them: "You are not guilty. Christ was violated too."
