So based on these posts, the Benito Bowl was either stellar, amazing, and filled with symbolism OR people couldn’t understand a thing he said and because of that it was terrible, horrible even, and boring!! Fascinating!

As I'm looking over the lectionary for the coming weeks in preparation for a sermon I have to do soon, I am looking at Joel 2:23-32 and really want to preach on the topic, "But when, God?" #imjustsayin #maybeoneday #thepeoplearentready #butarethey #maybeishould

“I am quickly approaching six months post surgery. What that means is I am also back into the swing of routine doctor visits, bloodwork, follow ups, calendar & phone call reminders (whether human or automated), scans, and more follow ups. This morning, my phone rang with another automated reminder.”

Thirteen years ago TODAY I preached my initial/trial sermon, leading to me being licensed to preach in the AME Church. Oh how so much has happened in such a short time! So much has changed since this day! Much more is to come! #anniversary #soontobedoctor #grateful #journey #preacher #ministry

I hate cancer. I am grateful for life. But, I hate cancer and how my life has had to shift and adjust, and the compromises I’ve had to make since I became aware that it was in my body. Plans and goals have had to change. My body has been changed. My focus has been interrupted. And the emotions!

Life is worth living. Even in the midst of chaos. The thing I love most about “us” is that even when it’s hard or seems dire, we will find and create moments of joy and escape. Joy IS a revolutionary act! Lean into it!!

Sometimes we have to stop giving people the energy and attention they are seeking by way of their ugly, vile, repugnant, and childish behavior. We are enabling the narcissism. Sometimes we need to stop being like Seymour, feeding the monster. Let em starve!!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to say this for weeks now and I’m struggling. I am no expert on the economy, the stock market, capitalism and the like, but there is something that keeps circling in my mind on a constant loop that I can’t make much sense out of in this entire grift scheme.
