We want the war horse. Jesus rides a donkey. We want the eagle. The Holy Spirit descends as a dove. We want to take up swords. Jesus takes up a cross. We want the roaring lion. God comes as a slaughtered lamb. We keep trying to arm God. God keeps trying to disarm us.

Pope Francis celebrates his 85th birthday today! Join us in wishing him a happy birthday and many blessings in the year ahead.

Lin Wood says planes didn’t crash into the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and the Pennsylvania field, because there was no airplanes parts found. Hmmmmm. I suppose the earth is still flat. Sail out of LA far enough & you will fall off the end of the world.

It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding." —Bill Bullard

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge . . . is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful." —Kurt Vonnegut

“Bless your persecutors; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same attitude toward all. Put away ambitious thoughts and associate with those who are lowly.” Romans 12: 14-16a. (iBreviary translation)Really good advice

Jesus Christ is risen! Alleluia! He is risen, indeed! 🌿🌷🌼 Happy Easter!

I suppose that yesterday’s action at the Capitol was a fake insurrection and Trump’s speech & twitter feeds were fake incitement to riot. Your true colors are now there for all to see.

“In place of these, be kind to one another, compassionate, and mutually forgiving… “. Ephesians

“Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Get rid of all bitterness, all passion and anger, harsh words, slander, and malice of every kind. “
