2 thoughts for all my colleagues who are preaching this weekend: 1. “preaching is one of Christendom’s major ART FORMS” -@iamfujimura 2. #BiblicalPreaching is “archaeology and art” -DrDaveWard Archaeology = digging deep in the text Art = delivering the sermon Do both well.

Relationship & trust in multiethnic space has been set back 25 years @ least. A day hasn’t passed in over a year where I don’t find myself deeply disappointed. Even if we just ignore it and do our own thing, I don’t know how we move forward apart from deep abiding prayer. (1/2)

Just read a fascinating New York Times piece that claimed I’ve reached my free article limit for the month.

In 1996 Kerri was raised in an abusive system with no choice. A system that ran over the bodies and souls of little girls. Today, an athlete and her coach chose her safety first. This is the change we've worked so hard for. If you can't see it, you're part of the problem.
Who's carrying Kerri Strug off the mat? Oh, that's right, Larry Nassar and Marta Karolyi; a pedophile who would go on to abuse the next few Olympic teams & 100's of others, & a physically & emotionally abusive monster. Maybe Strug's well-being wasn't the highest priority?

This is a good time to remind all of us to be more than just headline readers. Our inability and unwillingness to read, study, ask critical questions (even of our "own" sides"), and grasp nuance continues to be a tremendous challenge to our society.

I wonder If there is any image more beautiful Than the embrace of the one Who trains, equips, releases you And when you fail Still embraces you And reminds you that your value Comes from who you are Not what you did. #Euro2020 #Home

Mercy is bandaging up people bloodied in life. Justice is systemically stopping those who are bloodying up people. The Church needs both kinds of ministries.

None of us really fall in love, we just stop making everything about ourselves, and love floods into the space selfishness leaves behind.

The coronavirus vaccines will probably prevent you from getting sick with Covid-19. But it’s not yet clear whether you can still get infected asymptomatically and silently spread the virus. nyti.ms/33T8sJc
