While it is true that many systems are having an extinction event, new life, birth is STILL occurring. I’m preparing to live and help others do the same! I’mma grow stuff and feed some folk! This is one of the many ways I will add to collective thriving.

“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait on time.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

History has been written, the future has not. We have the ability to influence the outcome. Our individual choices combine to become collective action or inaction. I have made the choice to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with the God who I believe IS love.

It’s hard for the church to denounce the ways of empire when they more often than not look AND act like twins… The institution known as the church will crumble with the empire, the Embodied church will not… Hope you know which one you’re a part of… Rev. Teña

“Believing in God means saying: there exists an ultimate tenderness, an ultimate bosom, an infinite womb, in which I can take refuge and finally have peace in the serenity of love. If that is so, believing in God is worthwhile; it makes us more ourselves and empowers our humanity." -Leonardo Boff

If you believe in the power of words, declarations, prayers, and intentions, I invite you to join me in confessing the following, daily, randomly and it will, something that has been stirring in my spirit: “May every evil machination be stymied, thwarted, and overthrown. Asé and Amen!”

My Great G’Ma was named Ora and my G’Ma was named Clara. My Great G’Ma was way up in age by the time I was born and my G’Ma who was 50 when I was born, had one leg smaller than the other because she had Polio as a child. She walked with a limp all of her life.

Food for thought: Being a good orator does NOT equate to being a good preacher. A preacher can speak in dulcet and passionate tones, and STILL NOT utter, a word that GOD has said... ❤️Rev. T

For whoever may need this: Everyone that says “ Bless your heart” to you, doesn’t always mean it in a good way... it amazes me how people can invoke and disguise ill intent, in pretty words... beware of smooth tongues, they can poison without you realizing what’s being done... Rev. T

What’s up ahead will not be easy. It will not be comfortable. It will require us personally and collectively to evaluate ourselves and habits so that we can disengage from unsustainable behaviors and practices.
