Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump completely fails to understand the question he’s asked and rambles on incoherently. It’s clear Donald Trump has lost his mental capacity. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Trump is senile.
@mrsgeedeck These are from a teacher’s classroom library, as the post says. Classroom libraries are often cobbled together from individual purchases and leftover classroom sets. For example, I’ve got about 100 Slaughterhouse 5s, and I’ve never even taught the book.
Let's talk. This post implies 1 library, HS even, had 20 copies of 1 title. Book bans are serious business, don't mistake that fact. But 20 copies of a single title?!
We are far from perfect, but here is a sermon I preached back in April about how our church loves, affirms, and fully includes LGBTQ+ folks.
Not in spite of Jesus and Scripture, but because of them.
If you're wrestling with this, I hope it's helpful.

@KaitlynSchiess What a gracious thing to say, Kaitlyn. I knew I’d never outgrow growth but I thought I would outgrow awkwardness in community of faith. But no. As God would have it. no. I’m in the third grade again wondering if my teachers like me and who I’m going to sit with at lunch. But…
@KaitlynSchiess of this I’m certain. I’m exactly where the Lord wants me to be. In the terminology of Paul, the Lord is supplying what is lacking in my faith. And I love learning. I love my new church family. And they are patient with this 64 year old acolyte. God often grows us by shrinking us.
