Once (but not future) Lutheran Bishop. Happy Lutheran pastor and hospital chaplain. Hoping to share some light, and let you know that God loves you, no matter who you are. And, I thank God for you.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Have I become so dark of heart that when I hear about taking over Greenland, or invading Canada from our President-elect, I just wonder what he is really trying to distract us from? Anybody else with me?

Please join me in praying for all those in the Los Angeles areas suffering under these wildfires. May God protect the people especially the most vulnerable in this time.

A day that shall live in infamy, as should Donald J. Trump
The last time a presidential vote was certified, the losing incumbent attempted a coup against the United States. We must never forget his treachery.

People want a change. People are tired of the way it has been, the way it has always been. Why don't we go ahead and give love and caring for each other a chance. In the end we are all that we have got. And we have been given each other. Blessings be with you my friends.

Remember, Christmas is a 12 day season from Dec 25 to Jan 5. January 5th traditionally being known as 12th night. So sing your carols, jingle your bells, love one another - and keep having a very Merry Christmas.

It was a time like this, War & tumult of war, a horror in the air. Hungry yawned the abyss yet there came the star and the child most wonderfully there. It was a time like this of fear & lust for power, license & greed and blight yet the Prince of bliss came into the darkest hour... -M. L'Engle

Holidays can be hard. Many are missing people we lost or those we can't be with anymore. If you feel this way please know you are not alone. And may we all reach out, check on, and share some love and care this time of year.

We know God forgives us our sins - the things we have done or left undone. But God also helps us heal from the trauma of things done to us and the pain from all the love we needed but never received. Mike Rhyne

I wonder if in the end the best thing we can do in this life is try to heal as best as we can, so that we can help others do the same Mike Rhyne

Wherever you are, I pray God's blessing and presence be with you. Or maybe better said, I pray that you will know God's presence and blessing that always surrounds you.

I was going to ask for prayer for church members and friends who are going through health and personal struggles. I realized so many of us are going through struggles now. So I invite you to join me praying God will be with all who are in need. And, I pray that God will be with and bless you too.

If your church is preaching hate or anything other than love in the name of God, it’s time to find another church #Godislove

Dear God bring hope to the lost, relief to the oppressed, and peace and safety to victims of war and violence. Teach us all to be instruments of your healing grace in this broken world.

Do you look out into the world with anxiety and fear? If you do I am so sorry 😞 often that is a defense we learned because of bad experience or not enough people in your corner. Please know I thank God for you. You are not alone, and you matter.

As we heal ourselves (or are healed) we heal the world, because we are part of this creation. What do you think of that?

Can you help someone for no reason today? Can you let someone know they are seen and matter? Can you appreciate someone and tell them you do? Try it and see what happens.

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

So let us get this straight: Increasing the minimum wage is socialism, but corporations keeping wages low by forcing workers on to public assistance is the free market?
