Dear God, help us.
Broken and Beloved.
I wrote a Lent series on this theme.
I thought it would be relevant.
Didn't realize how much it would be so.
Feeling broken.
Clinging to beloved.
(And, my Mom is an amazing artist)

Thank you @revelizabeth.bsky.social for saying what our own denominational leaders have not said clearly enough. Sin will be called out and our siblings in Christ need more than our prayers. #lutheran #elca
In my anger at the silence from the top of the ELCA, I wrote this and thought I would share it:

Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Here's a speech worth listening to today.
Read Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in its entirety
Americans across the U.S. are celebrating King's legacy this weekend. One way to reflect on his life and message is by revisiting his celebrated 1963 speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

"To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love
into slavery." - Octavia E. Butler

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
