and yet… maybe to love has always been to risk being changed, to risk vulnerability, to risk that great exchange of humanity and deity [this is no jab at the OP, just putting out some difference for the sake of conversation!]

since I was young the language of faith I resonate with the most is the language of the earth, or ecosystem, of organic connection, of the wild ancient world, even of interstellar physics—more of a god beneath and within than any language of above Is this just me?

“That we may love justice, for its own sake and for god, without asking return, may god help us to this. Amen.” M. Eckhart (13th c.)

I don’t think “blessed are those who hunger and thirst after justice” is talking about billionaires

*reading construction site kids book with my 2.5 yr old son* “How many workers are there?” “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!!” “How many capitalists are there?” *looks puzzled* “Exactly.” :) #instillingvalues

I don’t believe in superheroes but I do believe in solidarity.

“If I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” 1 Cor 13:2 Of all that you know and can do—can you simply love all who appear before you today?

“The most beautiful part of your body is where it’s headed. & remember, loneliness is still a time spent with the world. Here’s the room with everyone in it. Your dead friends passing through you like wind through a wind chime…” Ocean Vuong

Yes, but how would I have listened through Rothfuss’ two fantasy epics twice without my children keeping me up at night? (They were good listening when I was exhausted and had to keep myself up those first 2-3 months)

Got sent this liturgies for everything type book very kindly by some family but it has a liturgy for employees and one “for those who employ others” and as a socialist I must object that it’s not simply James 5 or Mary’s “send the rich away empty”

Daycare closed at least part of the next week (COVID exposure for someone, no one positive) 😭 all the policies mandate closure but the government doesn’t mandate more PTO to cover this, tell me why we put up with labor laws in this country

Not unlike when people ask chaplains how they got into chaplaincy. It wasn’t looking in a profession catalogue. It was suffering. (and the love that befriended it)

Xn sexual ethics in the early church were *liberating.* They affirmed the equal value, status, & dignity of women, celebrated sexual minorities (eunuchs), rebuked a culture of rampant rape & molestation, tore town the centrality of marriage, & replaced it w/ the body of Christ.

According to a new survey, 74% of likely voters approve of the worker strikes. This comes after a recent Gallup poll found that 65% of Americans approve of labor unions—the highest percentage in 16 years. Workers are fed up and demanding change. huffpost.com/entry/survey-s…

I don’t know when y’all reading (or writing) books The only time that’s remotely personal for me is commuting on a bus or jogging, when I can listen to books/podcasts

Being on social media always quickly reminds me that often the wisest speech is often silent, complete attention.
