🇺🇸Lil Treasures #183: Knickknacks and Silly Willy West Wing
Plus an update on the NBA finals and a solution to eating your veggies
Hi beauties,
We’re halfway through this month, and these are my feelings about it so far:
This week our ice cream supply is starting to run dangerously low and pretty much every church within a 10 mile radius is hosting Vacation Bible School. But more importantly, we’re also recognizing Father’s Day, Juneteenth and Pride Month. Lots of reasons to celebrate the people we love! If you’d like to explore the Affirming Theology series we did within the Swipe Up+ last year as you celebrate, send me an email at hello@erinhmoon.com and I’ll get you access! 👊
Diving right into this week’s treasure trove:
❤️This Sunday is Father’s Day! (Just a reminder to go buy some socks or golf gloves for the dad’s in your life). Here's a lovely poem from Nikita Gill to kick off the celebratory weekend.
📖Melissa Zaldivar is winning the internet this week with these theme songs for books of the Bible.
📺I can’t stop laughing at this post of shows that are other shows. “Silly Willy West Wing” was my favorite!
🍟If you’re fumbling through some of the conversations surrounding Pride Month and want some resources to keep you company, I’ve got you covered! At The Bible Binge Seminary, Evan and I just put together a lengthy PDF for the Bible Binge Seminary called “What Side Do You Want With That”, which explores different books, articles, podcasts, etc perfect for helping you dig into the LGBTQIA+ conversation. You can get this resource + hear our discussion about it by joining the BB Seminary for a one-week free trial!
🍾The Denver Nuggets took home their first ever NBA Championship this past week, led by MVP Nikola Jokić from Serbia. I don’t know much about the guy except he is apparently good and also very pure - loves horses, just wanted to go home after the game, etc. I’m in support of both endeavors. But this video of of him not knowing what to do with champagne as the team celebrated took the cake for me!
🥕Any fun plans this weekend? I’m crossing my fingers for a low-key couple of days, hopefully accompanied by these crispy parmesan carrot sticks. I am trying to eat more vegetables, after all. Let me know if you have fun plans or snacks on the horizon!
🌉Lil Swipe Robin sent me this article about celebrating Juneteenth alongside our black brothers and sisters, especially if you’re in a predominately white congregation. Since Juneteenth is this coming up this Monday, give it a read if you need some practical ideas for learning and growing together.
Let’s get to the tweets!
Here to be your favorite hype girl:
Alright that’s my cue to wrap up this week’s treasures, ladies and gents.
Can’t wait to read through your suggestions, links and funny vids in the comments! Have an excellent weekend and I will see you here next week! Love you, mean it. 🫶
My husband and recently started walking at 5:30am before work. It’s a quick 20 minutes and we mostly just fart and talk and wake up for the day. He teases me because I talk really loud and probably wake up the neighbors and I love it. It has been so easy to get out of bed to spend that time with him. If this is the definition of a Stupid Walk, I’m in!
VBS is next week, I'm the director, and therefore I completely failed at Father's Day. 😬😬😬
I ordered something for my husband, but it won't get her me until Tuesday or so. And I *thought* about getting and mailing a card to my father, but only ever at 11 pm and not when I could have actually done those things. 😬😬😬
