It is in Jesus that we have a savior whose living and dying and rising again life demands us - to rise ourselves and act - to advocate and speak up for the safety and dignity of all people. Easter Sermon UUMCATX

When the sound of Alleluias have faded, when the women have returned home with their spices and the disciples are back to fishing, the work of Easter begins: To sing the joy and be the light. To be the change and bend the arc. To live the promise- Christ is risen. Christ is risen indeed!

Every time I sat down to write my Easter sermon felt like a Good Friday sermon. Made a collage of some of my scribbled notes.

“The waiting of Silent Saturday is the triumph of injustice, alienation and violence - all without a word from God. You don’t have to pretend the wait isn’t agony. If it feels like God is silent, say so. Your doubts, your grief, are safe here.”- Cole Arthur Riley

In response to the Vice-President's recent remarks that Christianity teaches us to love family first and then neighbors and then fellow citizens of your country and only then others from other countries and how 'the far left has inverted this'. Uhm....this is my lane and that is incorrect.

International Womens Day. I give thanks for the friendships I’ve made on General Commission on the Status and Role of Women UMC. Received this gift made by political prisoners from The Philippines. All the feels-heartache and hope all bound up together.

I know it was a couple of days ago but I still have Ash Wednesday feels. Take in Maren Tirabassi's poignant words here: "...ashes of the great burnings in Gaza, in Ukraine, ashes of the work done by many dismissed from their jobs.."

Keeping the words of Jesus with me: “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. “Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. “Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.”
