Wrapping up day one of the FXUM conference in Atlanta.

Seriously? I deleted Google maps yesterday and now Apple has done the same. 🙄

A current diagnosis of our national polity. Of the 3 branches of government, the legislative + judicial are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The executive is becoming fused with the (billionaire) $ sector. Our political hope is that the legislative + judicial wake up to their growing irrelevance.

As an enneagram 6, I usually undertake renovation projects when under intense stress or anxiety. Therefore, absolutely no one will believe me when I tell them my current project is NOT related to our current political climate 🤣 - that’s not to say there won’t be secondary benefits to this project!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are biblical- and don’t forget justice, mercy, generosity, compassion, love, grace…

Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from thistles?…

I’m working through facilitator training for a premarital counseling program- and if these aren’t actors, there is trouble in paradise. 🥀

This afternoon’s agenda includes 🐐 holding.

That the bishop’s words elicit hate is nothing new. This was and is the experience of the prophet. We are *all* under the mercy and justice of God. Myself included. And if you have a problem with what I’m saying, don’t complain to me. Take it up w/ God. A prophet once said that also :-). (2/2)

Headed to teach a piano lesson. If you have ever stuck with piano for more than six months, this is an inevitable rite of passage.
We all go through it. It’s like a siren song.

Trans beloveds: You deserve so much more than to be used as a political bargaining chip.

Beyond grateful to be part of a faith community that seeks to do justice, love mercy, and strives to love God and neighbor on this MLK Day.

Gearing up for tomorrow- an MLK Day of Service.
100 UMCOR buckets, 500 weekend bags of food for local elem. students, and a lunch and learn focusing on a MLK’s sermon “On Being a Good Neighbor”

Trying to avoid the major oligopolies in media? Especially with the sus TikTok stuff happening?
