I don’t miss the United States of America… but I miss do miss the ideal of it… but perhaps I can carry that where ever I go and reimagine it elsewhere.. .

In some ways, we’ve read this before. In other ways, we’re still finding language to capture our moment.

Possibly unpopular question, but I am wondering it: is truly de-colonial thought even possible? And if so, are there puritanical impulses that are given power in the process?

To discern vocation from career, the ways in which they might overlap and diverge, is no small task. To do so while mindfully attending to the livelihood of those who depend on you is yet another level.

I have a greater sense of appreciation and awe for old people. Maybe it’s being over 40, a literal sense of closeness by way of time. I am closer to 80 than I am to 0 after all.

It is always an awkward dance to balance mercy and justice, the pastoral with the prophetic. But sometimes, in order to hold the line, you also have to stand in the gaps. She is doing what she has been called to do. Lord, hear our prayers. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/

To have Jimmy Carter’s lingering presence in the Capitol for a couple days after Jan 6 anniversary feels like a sanctifying kiss of grace on a wounded and weary soul. I can’t imagine a bigger contrast of character than Carter and Trump. Even in death, he actively blesses us with a hope.
