"Steady my mind. Steady this nation. Steady my trust in You." --Rev. Laura Everett With election day tomorrow, we're sharing prayers from various writers, ministers, and church traditions to help prepare our hearts for whatever may unfold. faithandleadership.com/what-do-you-pr…

As for me and my house? We made a community care plan for #ElectionDay week, which includes cooking tonight enough that can hold us for a while: behold, butternut squash quiche. No NYT Cooking Recipe here! Just trad wasp mourning food from memory.

I know this has become so normal, but I remain stunned how anyone who identifies as a Christian would call another human made in the image of God “trash.”

Shout out to my mother in law for coming up with “nauseously optimistic” to describe the current mood.

It is only because of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ that I didn't just pop off on someone. Let the people say Amen.

Bishop Balcer, coming in with the good theology. Let the people say, "Amen."

Sabbath sign out: on my beautiful bike ride home, someone had posted these stickers “God is madly in love with you.” Even if others don’t believe it, even if you don’t yet believe it, God does. May we rest in that love.

Sabbath Sign Out: on my way to dinner with friends & my beloved, I put my foot right thru my wool sock. The saying goes “The cobbler’s children have no shoes,” but I teach mending. It’s God’s gift to rest and gather and repair. We will need to for the road ahead. 🧦 🧵🙏💙🪡

Sabbath Sign Out: good food, good community. Pace the work, pace the rage. Rest, beloved.
