Friends who work with #youth and #teens, can you sound off in the comments? I have a book on the way that I want you to know about.

Two millennia later, people are still asking “Who is my neighbor?” hoping God will say “Just this small circle of people who are like you.” - Chad Eslinger (Chad Eslinger 🇺🇸🇺🇦)

"You won't last very long in a church if you don't continually return to the wellsprings within you to drink the refreshing waters of your own loving connection with Jesus." — Carl McColman

A reminder: The US makes up a tiny percentage of the population of the world. Most humans are not thinking about this election. It's OK to be about other business. And to my US fam: grace upon grace to you. Don't feed the principalities. Trust love and walk humbly.

"God said, 'Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth.'" (Genesis 1:26) – God made us to care for the earth, bearing witness to his own care for the world.

The loss of hope does not always look like despair. Sometimes it looks like control. We know we have stopped hoping in God when we take matters into our own hands.

The whole thread is cool.

There was a time, years ago, when I thought Elon Musk was super cool. Like a real life Tony Stark. Lex Luthor seems a more appropriate comparison now.

Hilarious and spot on. Bravo.

Our dear friend Sheila Colla, Ph.D died on Sunday. She was a wonderful human being, a brilliant researcher, passionate about grassroots justice work. Among many of the gifts she and Marc gave us, was introducing us to Puerto Rico (the board game) and good espresso. She was 43.
