In my (Christian/UM) faith practice, this is it. Love God, love others - NOT "poach or pressure folks from other faith traditions or no particular tradition at all to love God like you do." Nope.
But if you're curious about my experience and practice of this love, I'd love to chat with you.

Though you might not feel it, believe it, or hear it, the darkness is lessened by your presence. In the core of who you are, the words, shapes, sounds, and music you make, there is fire and brightness, the snapping, creative crack of electricity.

A lovely, mindful way to observe the season. Non-Christian-practicing friends, please feel encouraged translate the Jesus-y bits into something more your style. Most of it is still a nice way to observe the many festivities of the season and still keep our heads on straight.

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.
