When Ted Cruz and others tried to spin Satureday's marches by claiming networks aired old footage, Politifacts dug in.
And, guess what they found?

Ahead of our Leadership Retreat tomorrow, tweaked a map I made when I first came to KPUMC.
During the pandemic, it was despressing to look at.
But now, it's remarkable to meditate/pray over.
What diversity of race, economics, cultures, orientations!
What an amazing place to do ministry.

As a pastor, over on FB, I often ask this question and see what response it gets.
It’s a Methodist tradtion.
My reach here on Blsky seems smaller. But I thought I’d offer a space where anybody who wants to can answer the question: “How is your soul?”
How are you, in these troubling times?

At the heart of my new essay is a suggestion that our capitalist desire to hoard is a spiritual sickness that Jesus' parable tells us something about.

Billy has looked upon, and guarded, my studio for years.
Thinking about Billy Joel because of the new, brilliant, two-part doc, out now.
I’ve waxed nostalgically about Billy and his music before.
Check out the essay...and the doc.
Both are worth your time.

A great “COTP” this week where I remind you of stark differences in Christian theology.
“Theology matters,” and I unpack the “violent prayer” of CFNI, contrasting it to a moment when Jesus STOPS his own disciples from violent prayer.

For 100 years, LPI has served students in cross-border ministry --educating children-- with the support of United Methodists in many states. They "do it the right way."
But that's how in jeopardy, thanks to the Trump Administration.
