🕊️🎶 if you want to be more theologically accurate but also kinda insufferable, sing it this way instead:

🕊️ “The donkey and elephant carried the banner of the eagle, and were twisted up by a great serpent.”
You get the basic idea without me explaining it all.
This is how you read Revelation. It’s not some secret code to for predictions. It uses period-specific imagery to speak of faith in empire. 🏴
🎶🕊️🏴 sang My Soul Cries Out/Canticle of Turning today, as part of Lent litany. One of my faves.
Landed right between Ides of March and St. Patrick’s day, which feels kind appropriate, too.
🕊️🎶🏆 Seriously considering creating an alternative to the Dove Awards called the “Bloody Lamb” awards, specifically for hard music. Non-commercial, grassroots, etc.

Swiss-German Mennonites did not pull themselves up by their bootstraps when they came to North America. Many 18th-century families had help from the Dutch Mennonites, who financed early immigration to Pennsylvania. Mennonites in Amsterdam also sent aid to poor and persecuted Anabaptist families in Switzerland and the Palatine region of Germany. Their descendants — especially those in Plain Anabaptist communities — don’t want this legacy of mutual aid to be forgotten.
