I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
This is the thread.

In Ps.122: 7 today: 'Peace be within your walls & security within your towers.' Scripture pairs peace with security, peace with justice, or justice with mercy. The psalms seek the common good of both/and compassion. Divide and conquer never ends. Peace is my work today.

In Ps.126:5 today: 'Let those who plant with tears reap the harvest with joyful shouts.' So much trauma is being planted. Grief. Loss. God is with us in our woundedness. Christ is the wounded healer. Rest with seed time. May we reap solidarity. Newness. Reap is my prayer today.

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday
There’s someone out there who still remembers you.
Not because of how you looked or what you did, but because, when no one else showed up with kindness, you did.
Kindness always matters

In Ps. 128:6 today: 'Peace be upon israel.' Peace be. Peace be to the survivor-victims of sexual trauma. Peace be to all who have experienced trauma from being disappeared. Peace be to those who feel unsafe. Peace be to all who grieve. Peace be is my prayer today.

There is a tenderness at the heart of the universe that will not give up on you. The gospel brings that truth back to us again and again.

In Ps.132:9 today: 'let your faithful shout out with joy!' Joy comes on the wings of God, with connections that help us live more consciously. When joy leaves, we can make ourselves open to joy's return. Despite the harm and hurt, God, renew us with joy. Joy is my work today.

In Ps.142:6: 'Deliver me from my oppressors.' For the prophets compassion & justice are one. Justice is one of the faces of God. According to the USAID counter, 88 die every hour because this was cut off. Deliver us, O God, into the increase of justice. Deliver is my work today.

OH MY GOD.
I have been trying to articulate this for MONTHS.
I just couldn't.
Because I've been DROWNING in a self-selected maelstrom of social media.

No one is OK right now.
At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.
It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like the ones we’re in and to be fully unaffected.
