The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and the First Principle
Tanner Trask
returns to our pulpit this week. As UUs, we covenant to affirm and promote
the inherent worth and dignity of every person. It is a lofty goal, and an
important one.
It is also the principle that many UUs struggle the mos
t with. What about those who seek to do violence, physical or otherwise, to
us and ours? What about the people that don't seem like people at all - wh
at about the monsters?
UUs believe in the words and deeds of prophetic
people. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl may be a comic book character, but ev
en she can show us how to confront powers and structures of evil with justi
ce, compassion, and the transforming power of love.

Stan Yoder takes our pulpit to ask: What if the search for Truth led us
through laughter? An explorer checks out religions in a paralle
l universe and shares his thoughts. (Hey, nice shots from the James Webb Sp
ace Telescope on the way back, too.)
Stan Yo
der taught music for many years in public and private schools before switch
ing to teaching science after getting into trouble for teaching students to
think critically. (Not appreciated in North Texas music class, apparently.
) However, teaching critical thinking is also not appreciated in high schoo
l science class in North Texas, either, if it's not specified precisely in
the TEKS. So he retired early, tutored students, told jokes, and thought de
ep thoughts. Now he collaborates with folks who need a co-writer on their a
utobiographies—and still tells jokes. He also loves reading. Reading and th
inking. Reading and thinking deep thoughts and hugging.

We as a society have become accu

by the measure of the successes they have achieved. But, as much as we may
not like to admit it, our failures also have a lot to say about how far we
have come...and often they have more to say about how we view life than suc
cess. Join Matt Pargeter-Villarreal through a sermon journey of some of the
failures that he has encountered and have impacted his life...and how he w
