  "textContent": "walo = \"eight\" in Tagalog\n\nIt's been a minute, but I'm back. The past few months' activities have been a wee bit overwhelming with a wedding, an unexpected church gig, and our moving extravaganza 2026 — all good and self-inflicted.\n\nHere are the public cliffsnotes with more details, photos, and chismis for Paid Subscribers to follow. In no particular order...\n\n  * **Bruce's Beverage:** Because corporate Philz decided to drop all pride flags (eventually reconsidering), I have not had Philz in quite a while.\n  * **One Wedding:** Eldest got married in April. We danced, we ate, we cried, we laughed. It was lovely. We are so happy for and proud of them.\n  * **Gun Violence Prayerbook:** The prayerbook has been released. I've shared a few here, but if you want to get copies, buy them here and use promo code, \"BRC\" to get 20% off.\n  * **PPPP Book Update:** The big edit for _Prophets, Priests, Pastors, & Poets: Being and Becoming the Resurrected Christ_ and the accompanying Advent devotional, _Possibility,_ have been submitted.\n  * **RCP Family Moving Saga:** Completely self-inflicted, we are in stage two of three in our move. We should land in our permanent-ish location by the end of the month.\n  * **Middle's Adventure:** Middle is moving to New York, so I am squeezing as much time in between now and the time they leave as I can 🥹\n  * **Speaking of Adventures:** June 1, I begin a part-time Transitional Pastor position at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. If you are in the area . . .\n  * **Canceled:** Sadly, the folks at Sabeel and I decided to cancel the Educators, Librarians, and Archivists Solidarity Delegation to Palestine that I was planning to lead in July.\n  * **Bridge Pastorate:** Not planning much before I head to Pasadena, I just wrapped up a quick Bridge Pastorate at the Presbyterian Church in Burlingame. My resume is going to look like I cannot hold a job.\n  * **The Pod:** The Amalgamation Podcast is really having a glow up now that I have brought on a Producer and Editor. If you have not subscribed, you can find it wherever you listen.\n  * **Apple No More:** With my Mac showing its age and the GoogleBook on the horizon, I am making this switch back to a Chromebook. My refurbished Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 arrives any day now, and once it goes into the backpack, I will be apple-free.\n  * **Sight and Sounds:** Our recent binges have been Douglas is Canceled and Hope Street on Britbox. I have also got back into K-Drama with Undercover Mi$$ Hong. Bruno Mars's newest album, The Romantic, and my Love's In the Melody Radio Playlist are repeat.\n\n\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
