In Ps.115:12 today: 'The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us.' Zakar means to remember or be mindful of. Lord, help me remember the power of love. Make me mindful to be peaceable with my words. Just in my actions. In a moment of cruelty, being mindful is my work today.

Good morning, beloved. Sometimes, we’ll struggle. But no one needs to get used to struggling alone. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

In Ps.129:4 today: 'God cut me free from the ropes of the wicked!' Rasha/wicked is the willful rejection of righteousness, to be unbound by divine justice. We live in wicked times. May we be freed for flourishing. The universe ends in justice. To be free is my prayer today.

In Ps.144:11 today: 'Rescue & deliver me from the power of strangers, whose mouths speak lies.' Princes do not control an interdependent world. God is here in Spirit. God is here in neighbor. God is here in truth. Lies do not stand against God's love. Deliver is my prayer today.

Instead of asking if we liked the pastor’s sermon, the music, or the church building, a better question would be, “Are the people being discipled to love and live like Jesus? Can I see the impact of the Sermon on the Mount in the way they live online and in person throughout the week?”

Gurren Lagann is correct about its central conceit that the entirety of the power of the human spirit is ignited at the intersection of hope, belief, faith & trust. And that despair not only limits imagination but is also a spiritual death that leaves us helpless when facing humanity’s adversaries.

In Ps.25:21 today: 'Let integrity and virtue guard me because I hope in you.' We've allowed ourselves to be talked out of integrity and virtue for ideology and fear. Our hope is in a deeper love lived in mutual benefit. God provides. Practicing hope is my work today.

The idea that LLMs 'hallucinate' is itself a clever invention of the tech industry to disguise actual failures of their systems. Rebranding these serious algorithmic glitches as 'hallucinations' was designed to make the public accept this bullshit by linking it to the vagaries of human psychology.

Happy Wednesday.
In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles.
Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground.
Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand.
Where horses can read human emotions.
Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark.
And where stars we see might not even exist anymore.
