I need people in the US to listen to me, even though you didn’t the last few times I said this You know how Trump is talking again about election fraud? He’s not worried about election fraud. He has the election process in hand both through gerrymandering and actual fraud. But

Part of me feels like it would be an inappropriate appropriation of her words/cause to connect it in a sermon, yet part of me feels those who are “sick and tired of being sick and tired” are exactly who Jesus was addressing. 🤔

Been reflecting/pondering on this Sunday’s gospel text and “rest for the weary.” I keep coming back to Fannie Lou Hamer’s 1964 “sick and tired” speech. Reading and re-reading, so much of it is still going on and much worse.

While I imagine it’s not exclusive to the #elca after Synod Assembly, I find myself really pondering congregational pastors who seek elected service on Councils, Committees, and Boards of Directors. Like…isn’t congregational work enough? 1/2

For the first time in years of experience, Synod Assembly of the Lower Susquehanna Synod #elca #lss felt like it had life and energy and hope. It didn’t feel like a bunch of church oldsters simply grumbling about the decline of the church and what the synod hasn’t done for them. Glad I didn’t skip
