If you’re doing meatless Fridays in Lent

You can choose to accept that the mercy Jesus offers from the cross, with his death, is truly meant for you, even if you think you don’t deserve it. By choosing to die, Jesus chose you #thinkingaboutlent #lent #pcusa #chicagopresbytery @pcusa.bsky.social

Don’t forget this is the night we leave a plate of kielbasa and Żywiec for Kazimierz Pułaski or else you’ll only hear the bad Polish jokes all year long #pulaskiday #casimirpulaski

Happy Casimir Pulaski Eve! Remember to leave out a plate with a pieróg for each year you have lived in Chicago.

We might have more ashes than we need. Hmm. I guess we can do full-on palm print on the face

In Nz concentration camps, yellow triangles marked Jews, pink marked homosexuals, red denoted political prisoners, blue triangles marked immigrants—both documented and undocumented. Immigrants were among the first to be rounded up by the regime #immigration #deportation #immigrant

Tammy Faye Bakker was asked how she could come to accept and celebrate gay and lesbian people as a Christian evangelist. She said, “We’re all just people made out of the same old dirt, and God didn’t make any junk” #pcusa #chicagopresbytery #tammyfaye @pcusa.bsky.social

On this Presidents’ Day, we can acknowledge not all of the Presbyterian ones were great or even good at all. Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan were horrible across the board. Woodrow Wilson won World War I but was a segregationist #presidentsday #pcusa #presbyterian

Is God merciful and compassionate? Or is God vengeful and full of hate? Your heart and your actions show who you believe God to be #pcusa #chicagopresbytery #thomasmerton @pcusa.bsky.social

The Pope made a curious comment about conceivably opening the doors to even Protestant martyrs to be added to the Catholic calendar of saints #pcusa #chicagopresbytery #popefrancis @pcusa.bsky.social

I had a very long coffee with some friends today, and while we didn’t solve all the problems in the world, it was good medicine for the soul. Laugh with your friends and make plans to help each other do things like finally paint the guest room.

On Twitter, JeremyWingert79 asked how we stay sane through the next few years. Here's my answer -- a 🧵: --Focus on the local, things within your sphere of influence, and your ability to impact. --Cultivate unplugged times. Awareness is important, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. 1/4

It’s Frederick Douglass Day. A powerful orator, he relentlessly pushed for the end of slavery even when the President himself kept being noncommittal to emancipation and Black citizenship. Douglass’ constancy helped achieve the end of slavery #pcusa #chicagopresbytery @pcusa.bsky.social

The Holy See is NOT a walled city as people are claiming, an argument for border walls. The Vatican has ancient walls but there are many entries only guarded by weapons checkpoints from which anyone can enter and exit #immigration #deportation #pcusa #chicagopresbytery @pcusa.bsky.social
