This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I’ve always thought that caring for the poor and sharing my blessings and walking humbly and showing mercy and seeking peace were all marks of someone who followed Jesus...

Fireworks

Hoofbeat
Drumbeat
Echo

Innocence
Upturned
Trampled

Underneath
The Ancestor
Travesty

Blood stains
Tear pains
Memory

On this day
It’s washed away
Supplanted

Foreign rites
Plots at night
Failed rebellion

Our past easier to ignore
Brush over while we laud
With fireworks

Over and over in the Gospels, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of.

This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal...
