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.

“And without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always ripe to do right." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are willing to be co-workers with God.”

Money isn’t the root of all evil. The LOVE of money is the root of evil! Love is the word the is often missed in that passage of scripture 😊

“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.

Instead, I’m fighting for what comes next. I want to help build sustainable ways of living, loving, and learning, with fellow humans and the earth. Why? Because I understand that what comes next will be all of us or none of us. I am for WE. I am for US. I. AM. FIGHTING. Rev. Teña

I am fighting not to return to status quo because I understand status quo still left a significant amount of folk in the margins.

I have made the choice to stay grounded in love understanding that justice IS a part of love. That personal choice is informing what I am adding to the collective.

Rev. T Pastor w/ The Pretty Hair @revt.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

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

Let them/ it go. Make room, the right people are on the way. Some may even be present now, you just need to open your eyes to see, open your ears to hear, and open your heart to discern. Alignment

OAN… You didn’t ask for too much, you just asked the wrong people. They might be good people but they aren’t good for you.

From this perspective, God is constant because Change is constant. To resist Change is to resist God. God can’t be outran because Change can’t be stopped. Lean into Change, go WITH God!

One cannot plot the demise of another and think they’ll get away free. The works of one’s hands will eventually catch up to them.

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!”
