My heart, mind, and soul continue to grieve over our slide into nationalized cruelty, a cruelty trying to convince us that it cannot be stopped.
We must all play our part, risk things that others are unable to, and be able to say to our ancestors and descendants, "We tried."

A corrupt, authoritarian government seizes an innocent man, tortures and jails him on trumped-up charges that change during a manipulated "legal" process. The prisoner is left at the mercy of dehumanizing politicians & jailers to do with what they please.
Holy Week then. America now.
Holy Week then. America now.

All you gain when you thwart another’s flourishing is toxicity and control.
But when you let people be who they are, they have space to blossom into beautiful beings who nurture endless possibilities in our world.
Let our trans kin be and let us delight in their being.

I have been trying to shift more of my listening to books (instead of mostly podcasts) for similar reasons
Podcasts can be great but a steady media diet that doesn’t include books is a great way to have your mind consumed by a lot of repetitive, disposable content, and look: we should all be reading more books.

Grateful for @ladcampbell.bsky.social for sharing these fitting words. May we all find courage to journey with Holy Mystery on the way to becoming Beloved Community
It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
― Wendell Berry

Skeleton Crew stuck the landing in the finale. 80s nostalgia made this a charming adventure and I hope there’s more room for this kind of Star Wars storytelling

My favorite of all the Star Trek themes
Do you think Beethoven and Mozart are up in heaven right now weeping because they did not write anything as good as the theme to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Reimagining this season of Thanksgiving as a grace-filled invitation to allow entrenched habits of comparing, complaining, & coveting to fall away
It’s quite possible to say “thank you” 50x a day but not have a life marked by gratitude.
Gratitude is about discerning the gifts that are present before us.
It also entails the steadfast refusal to order one’s life around:
• comparing
• complaining
• coveting

Of all the Christian leaders which I’ve shared a meal, no one’s mesmerizing words on big stages have been dwarfed even more by how they embodied it than Tony Campolo’s.
Tony Campolo, an American Baptist minister and sociologist who spent decades trying to convince evangelicals and other Christians that their faith should motivate them to address social ills like poverty and racism, has died.
Tony Campolo, sociologist and famed Red Letter Christian, has died
(RNS) — Known as a powerful evangelist and social justice preacher, Campolo had long advocated that Christian faith can transform the world — and people’s everyday lives.
