I’m still pondering the centuries of violence rendered invisible by the statement “we all came over on different ships but we’re in the same boat now.” So many of the bodies still lie in the harbors

Oh, my goodness. Do we have any idea how lonely people are? As Christians, maybe we should get more fired up about this than a lot of political things. What would happen if we put our emotional energy into noticing the lonely that live all around us?

I’ve learned afresh recently that many people don’t leave churches b/c of the theology the leadership holds, but b/c of the way the leadership holds that theology. How we believe is just as important as what we believe. And in many ways, how we believe reveals what we believe.

The 5 LOTR Love Languages acts of service: I can't carry it but I can carry you! words of affirmation: my precious receiving gifts: it came to me on my birthday physical touch: it's quite cool quality time: "I'm going to Mordor alone" Of course you are & I'm going with you!

Auschwitz "did not fall from the sky". Auschwitz took time. The industrial murder was at the end of a long process which began with coining the idea. Words & propaganda reinforced stereotypes & prejudice. Legal exclusion and dehumanization was followed by escalating violence.

As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day. #MLKDay2023

Had an issue getting my #SSRI script renewed last week so I’ve been off it for a few days. Having brown-outs and crazy vertigo. Nobody is available to deliver my refill so I’m about to try to walk there by myself. 🤞🏼

When we Christians become convinced that only we know the truth, that anyone who opposes us is on the side of evil, and things will only get better if we are in charge of all positions of power, that is when we know we are no longer worshiping God. We are worshiping ourselves.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.

You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police. You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma. It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

We Christians don’t own truth or morality. We don’t own our nation or its culture. We don’t own marriage, family, or human sexuality. We have convictions about these things, but so does everyone else. Having deep convictions doesn’t give us the right to impose them on others.

If you see that God is in the business of protecting your preferred presidential candidate from death, but not the other person at the rally, or school children, or immigrants, or Palestinians, then it may be that you’re confusing your own political bias for God.
