The crisis, in context

For the past 7 or 8 years I have chosen to add something to my life, rather than take something away. God in their grace invites us to live in abundance, and I want my Lenten for practice to reflect the abundance of God’s goodness and love for me.

On #AshWednesday, these words are spoken over us: “You are dust.” Physically healthy people are in desperate need of this reminder. For the chronically ill, our bodies bear out this truth every day. I am so thankful that eternal life is extended to us both.

Amen.

Thank you, Meghan! 🙌🏼

On #InternationalWomensDay I’m proud to be part of an organization that recognizes the God-given gifts women possess and is empowering them to transform their families and communities. forbes.com/sites/megykary…

I just organized everyone I follow into lists, and I'm desperately hoping that this will help me love Twitter again.

Here’s what Jesus did NOT say: Welcome the stranger, if he has money. Feed the hungry, who earned the food. Love your neighbor, when it’s good for the economy. Give water to the thirsty, once they pay their dues. Rule. Don’t serve. Be first. Not last. Take and keep taking.

Really sad to see this incredible news outlet come to an end. I remember writing an article for them in their first months. We have lost an important in depth look at #refugees around the world.

Because of my illness, I am unable to attend church at least once each month, sometimes more. I don’t have all the answers, but the Church needs to do better about making their absent members feel seen.

I fear that the President will just continue to drive his staff away so he can replace them with more and more hardline individuals who have less respect for U.S. law and the Constitution.
