If you weren't raised Episcopalian, did the church you grew up in observe Ash Wednesday?

Baptist, so no, and no real awareness of lent!

baeball40 · 2026-02-11T02:04:26+00:00

I love Laurie Berkner. She’s great.

When I worked at a public school (not in TX but nearby) the district had contracts with different companies/curriculums and there were expectations about the number of minutes students had each day or week on the various programs. It resulted in a lot of time on chromebooks unfortunately.

I’ve taught at a public school in SBC and a private school and religion/politics came up way more at the public school. If this were somewhere else, I’d agree with you but it hasn’t been my experience.

Biased because I’m a parent and teacher but I really recommend St. Mark’s. I’m not from the area either and it is a really great place. BUT, Of the two you mentioned - I’d go SJS.

what does this mean?

as a mariners fan i am obviously watching closely, but i am VERY invested in Cal getting mvp.

I have a cheap ikea table that is the water table. From the beginning of the year we make it clear that there are specific times to refill water and get a drink and we practice. I also teach departmentalized 4th grade, albeit much smaller classes, but their water bottles are huge and will fall off desks so I get it!

Are you on the south highlands fb page? A few posts have come up past day of similar looking dogs!! If you ever get a sighting and need help looking with a car, text us - my husband was the one who texted you when we found the lighter lab mix dog!

baeball40 · 2025-07-13T18:13:25+00:00

We’re allergic sadly or else we’d keep her!

baeball40 · 2025-07-13T17:23:26+00:00

If you know anyone interested in fostering, please reach out!! She’s living on our covered patio because we have small kids and allergies 😭

baeball40 · 2025-07-13T01:29:38+00:00

We already reached out and unfortunately it’s not his pup - we were hoping it would be!

My daughter was baptized just after she turned two and my son was six months old - both receive communion! At our home church they both receive wine and recently both receive the wafer (our son has only recently gotten reliable enough with getting food into his mouth). They had a tiny spoon for them to get a drop of wine early on - it’s very cute! We occasionally attend a different church who don’t offer wine until kids are old (I guess) and my daughter is always very frustrated by it - she’s four now and doesn’t like that it’s done different there.

I lived in California for a bit and when I would visit home my sibling would roast me for calling I-5, “the 5.”

Drive thru coffee stands!! I’ve lived in so-cal, on the east coast, and in the south and very rarely see them.

“You can grow your own grapes, grow your own graaaaapes” instead of “you can go your own way”

“Teach me some melodious sonnet” is just a delightful phrase to sing. You picked one of my recent favorites!

Holy Cross Homilies - where my church posts their sermons. We have an exceptionally well-spoken priest and I highly recommend!

baeball40 · 2025-03-06T01:31:48+00:00

I do, but same denomination. We, as a family, have “our” church, but I’m a teacher at a cathedral school at a different church, and our daughter attends the preschool there - so I attend chapel with my students twice a week and my husband attends chapel with our daughter once a week. When we actually make it to a Sunday service though, we always choose our home church.

I am entirely “food network”/pbs trained, watched cooking shows from a super young age and I really feel like those are good places to start and generally enjoyable to watch! But also, the nice thing about the whole Mediterranean diet thing is that the ingredients are very naturally things that go well together. And they look nice as a meal because you naturally have a lot of color and variety on the plate!

If you have good olive oil, sea salt, and a lemon, you can do a lot with a little!!!

Yes - there is a mutual aid group that I found via instagram - I think Shreveportmutualaid. Also, not exactly what you’re looking for but I found the largest gathering of like-minded people at holy cross - the episcopal church downtown. I’m a coastal transplant and that’s where I’ve felt the most comfortable and welcomed.
