🦀Lil Treasures #170: King David and Teaching Crabs how to Read
We're talking about streaming services and The Oscars
Happy St. Patty’s Day!🍀
This has been a strange week for me, so I’m going to keep this intro short and sweet. I hope you all have the most lovely weekend! Who is going on spring break next week? If so, may your pollen be minimal and your childcare options be plentiful.
Not to worry, I’ve got lots of treasures for you to make up for this brief start!
This week’s fun treasures:
🫀Kat Armas wrote one of my favorite books (Abuelita Faith) and is now in the process of publishing her second book, a devotional called Sacred Belonging: A 40 Day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture. I smashed my pre-order button so fast when I saw her announcement! The book will be out this September but you can go ahead and get yours reserved on Amazon at this link.
🤷🏽♀️Loved this post about doubt and spiritual uncertainty from Black Liturgies. So often we are told doubt is a “threat” to our faith, and these words do a good job of debunking that thought process.
🐋My beloved Brendan Fraser won an Oscar this past Sunday for his role in The Whale and although he is an amazing actor and a truly kind person, I would also like to take partial credit for manifesting his comeback.
If you need a reason to love him today, read this article in the Hollywood Authentic and let yourself be swayed. Also I freaking love this clip of Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan after they both won an Oscar:

is a hilarious writer who often takes a spin at issues at the forefront of Christian Twitter and this satirical piece about King David really got me.🚪If you’ve ever asked the question, “Why are people leaving Christianity?” (I think we all have at some point in the last few years), this article presents some helpful data of reasons why.
This week on Twitter:
Alright my beautiful flowers, thanks for tuning in to this week’s newsletter. I am grateful for your presence and so excited to read your treasures & turds in the comments. They are always a delight and so are you!
Listening to the Lent series, and there is something wholly *holy* comforting at the end of every day... “The Lord bless you and keep you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
There is something truly lovely about someone saying/praying those words over you.
Thanks for being the Lent Sherpa, Erin. 💜
Happy St. Patrick's Day, I just watched this again to make sure it was as funny as I remembered and I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbuRA_D3KU
I sat down and watched the Oscars in their entirety on Sunday in the hopes that Everything Everywhere All At Once would clean up, and I was rewarded for my efforts. I yelled so loud when Ke Huy Quan won I scared my dog.
I bought a robot vacuum last year but never set it up, so I decided to get ahead of myself and set it up in my new house before I moved any of my stuff in. This was an effective maneuver and I'm smitten with him. My dog is less so, but it's less terrorizing than the regular vacuum.
