Duane Rollins died on Friday, May 23. His life testified to the cost of abuse. “I never met him,” writes @revchrisdavis.bsky.social, “but his story met me when I needed to know I wasn’t crazy and I wasn’t alone.”

My own grooming experience happened in the 1980s. The school board member who reached out so promptly after I wrote my essay did so in the 1990s. We have learned so much more about prevention, care and accountability since then. religionnews.com/2025/05/27/p...

In 1956 an all-white Southern Baptist church in Alexandria, VA began a ministry to students with special needs. 20 years later, that would bring an African-American family to the church where their brother with Down Syndrome could be welcomed. 1/3

I’m a huge fan of the Mission Impossible franchise and thought that The Final Reckoning is perfect.

Huge storm knocked out the power and even cell coverage at the house. We discovered that books require no electricity and reading out loud is a great way to spend an evening!

Mother’s Day can be painful and sorrowful for a variety of reasons. I hope you find comfort in knowing you are not alone if that is your story. And it reminds me how much I have to be grateful for that this lady is my mother and nurtured me with such care. Happy Mother’s Day!
