A little while ago I put out bird feeders on our kitchen porch, and all the little birds in the neighborhood know that I put out the good stuff, apparently. This morning I was chatting with the wife saying that I should do a time lapse of the birds, so I did. I shot it…

To quote Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1, “There is a time for every purpose under heaven.” So now it’s time for a Layperson Lecture! I’m Constance McEntee, seminary drop-out and the Idiot Before G0D.

by Antinoë Magdalene • • 0 Comments
Power comes from Privilege. Power requires responsibility. I had to drop out of seminary because I lacked the necessary financial privilege to attempt the course of study. I didn’t even qualify for the necessary student loans. Many people told me they thought I’d make a good minister, and I feel like I’ve let them down.…

To quote Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1, “There is a time for every purpose under heaven.” So now it’s time for a Layperson Lecture! I’m Constance McEntee, seminary drop-out and the Idiot Before G0D.

Quarantine Reflections
by st4r.org Admin • • 0 Comments
I’ve been staring at blank screens for a few days now. It’s been hard to write and be verbally creative during this quarantine time. Like many folks, I’ve been in a kind of brain fog. It’s hard to watch the news (especially coming out of the US), it’s hard to be home all the time,…
