The #Saddleback Educational Publishing of #Macbeth is good, if you are trying to read Macbeth & have issues with the language. It gives you the story with a hint of Scottish. Plus it covers most of the story in ½ an hour.

I had the honor and privilege of working producing a podcast with #Saddleback Mountain CEO Matt Dietrich and GM Jeff Quimby. I got a (very) rough cut done tonight and I'm so incredibly excited for it to release on Friday December 12th!
July 6, 2013: it was a nice, if windy, day on Saddleback Ridge. There are a few named summits, Saddleback Junior, the Horn, Saddleback mountain. I enjoyed the time out of the trees. There are precious few sections with nice views on this trail. Tomorrow I'll head into town for a meal and resupply, but hike out a few miles to a shelter or campsite.

A North Island Saddleback (Tīeke), looking epic and mysterious. I can't pretend I'm not a bit gutted about that huge branch covering its tail feathers, but oh well...

Such a good day!! Stayed between 28-30 degrees all day, no wind at all - unheard of. Saddleback avoided the rain/sleet/ice/wet that got most Northeast ski areas over the past few days + even picked up some fresh snow yesterday and today.

Put in a lot of great runs with my dad today, but had to break away a few times because "The Goods Are In The Woods"

Ya' all know that #SBC thing where #Saddleback and #FernCreek got ousted 'cos they had female pastors? Well, I'm finding it kinda hard to put any energy into being worried about this - since those two churches did NOT back women's choice/abortion rights.

Those two churches should go whine about being ousted elsewhere until they get right with #women on those issues...then we'll back them in their beliefs...

Handmaid’s Tale Anyone?

#SouthernBaptists say no to women pastors, uphold expulsion of #Saddleback megachurch

“The #SouthernBaptistConvention voted overwhelming Wednesday to uphold earlier decisions to expel two churches because they have #WomenPastors.”

Hopefully Saddleback will see ejection from the SBC as an opportunity to follow the spirit where she leads now that it doesn’t have to adhere to what is increasingly becoming a political/cultural institution. One thing is certain: this vote will not slow down the SBC’s collapse into irrelevance. #saddleback #sbc #evangelicalism #exerciseInMissingThePoint https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2023/06/14/southern-baptists-rick-warren-vote/
Southern Baptists reject Rick Warren’s appeal to reinstate Saddleback

The SBC, which is meeting this week in New Orleans, ejected Saddleback last year after Warren ordained female pastors.

The Washington Post
Would someone explain to me what #Saddleback stands to gain by reaffiliating with the #SBC? Seriously. Why do they so badly want to be associated with a denomination that doesn't want them? Saddleback should shake the dust from their sandals & move on.
