With a one vote difference passing the middle of the night bill, the Republican party has officially declared themselves to be the anti-Robin Hood party. They are stealing from the poor to give to the rich. To anyone who voted red last November, is this really what you voted for?

Pope Francis questioned JD Vance’s ethical schema by arguing that extended meditation on the parable of the Good Samaritan will ultimately cut against it. Published February 12, 2025: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

Semi-random Bible fact: Palm branches are only mentioned in 25% of the Palm Sunday stories. Pretty sure "Cloak Sunday" is a more Biblically accurate name.

There are 2,781 billionaires in the world. That is 2,781 too many. There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I'm pretty sure two commas is more than enough. That third one means you're just hoarding for yourself rather than sharing to make things better for everyone.

I think I just leveled up my digital ministry skills today. I was recording a conversation about preaching with an incredible preacher and I realized I didn't compress the video of them preaching a sermon and so naturally I dropped it into Handbrake and compressed it WHILE WE WERE TALKING.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

“We have the opportunity to do something really phenomenal.” I’m sorry, Mr. President, but ethnic cleansing and colonizing someone’s land is not phenomenal. It is a horrific part of our own history that we should never repeat again.

Anyone else notice how Tr*mp and anyone wearing a red hat just shifts their scapegoat every few years? They used to blame CRT for everything and now it's all DEI. Always fun when people just throw letters around without actually knowing what it fully means!

YES! And if you have water to spare, help hydrate others! And if you need a pit stop, take a break for a tune-up! And if you get a cramp, stop running and massage that kink out! We all move at our own pace, and that's ok! In fact, DEI shows us that that's GOOD! This marathon is run together! 💕

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

Two weeks. It's been two weeks. Yes, there is work to do. But we need you for more than just a sprint, but the whole marathon. Do your stretches. Stay hydrated. Don't run alone.

Today is January 71st. Or at least that’s what it feels like. And just so we’re clear, the world might be on fire and crashing and burning, but to blame it on DEI or any other scapegoat is the epitome of poor leadership.

When you run a marathon the temptation is always to go out too fast. You see the crowd running ahead and so you try and keep up, only to slow down by mile ten and completely crash by mile 20.

Take care of yourself. Yoga, run, workout, long shower, another cup of tea, read a book, take a walk, call a friend, take a breath. There will be a lot to react to each and every day but these next four years are a marathon, not a sprint.

Funny how when I'm running with a tailwind I barely notice it but when there's a headwind it's all I can think (and complain) about. Also, pretty sure this is a metaphor for life in general.
