A Night Prayer:

"O Lord, calm the waves of this heart, calm its tempests. Calm yourself, O my soul, so that God is able to respose in you, so that his peace may cover you. Amen."

-- Soren Kierkegaard

Both happy and sad to get a copy in the mail of this new book of essays by our friend and fellow book club member Mike Gerson, who died two years ago. All of us who knew him loved him and miss him. We was a hero and a model of compassionate, convictional Christlikeness.

It’s that #OlaGjeilo time of year open.spotify.com/track/1Asz0x...

Jesus did not call his followers to defend Christianity; he called them to defend the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the hurting.

Stop wasting time being offended. Get to feeding, and healing, and peace making.
