Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos. Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion. Rely on God. Read Scripture. Be brave. Pray valiantly. Act like grownups. Help the hurting. Love defiantly.

The lack of critical thinking in evangelical Christianity is increasingly startling. There are large pockets of people who have fused to a specific, cynical (nihilistic?) narrative and interpret everything through that lens. Lord, have mercy.

"This is what God's kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there's always room for more." - Rachel Held Evans, Searching for Sunday

It started with the subjugation of another race, and it continues in its abuse of women and children. It needs to be dissolved. #FleeSBC

I am thankful for Mark. Even if his 90-minute first draft isn't perfect, we need someone to be facilitating the conversation to reform healthcare. And elected officials don't do it since they get healthcare for life and don't care to reform something that doesn't impact them. Keep talking, Mark!

A must read story that offers a terrifying window into the world of contemporary far right and pro-MAGA paramilitaries. The friendly ties between these aspiring terrorists and law enforcement is especially concerning. Not surprising to folks familiar with the history of the far right, but still bad.

Moment of gratitude: no one was seriously injured, airbags and seatbelts worked wonderfully. (Not experiencing gratitude for the uninsured driver barreling down I-25 in the passing lane after two inches of snow. They went sideways across two lanes of traffic.)

Auntie Beth is amazing. Her memoir is an incredible encouragement for those who've interacted with the SBC or other types of fundamentalist Christianity.
