Child of God. Product of grace. Bishop in The United Methodist Church. My new book of American sijo, lightly, is out from red moon press or the author via X.

In Ps. 70:5 today: 'You are my help and my deliverer.' This verse contains a beautiful breath prayer. As you inhale, pray: 'You are.' Then, 'my help' as you exhale. When we are ragged or facing harm, a breath prayer can be a grace. You are/my help. Help is my prayer.

@TomDEvelyn Wow. Thanks for this.

In Ps.71:14 today: 'But I will hope continually, and will praise you yet more and more.' I anchor in the One who reveals well-ordered good for all creation. I hold to the vision of lion and lamb dwelling together. Why choose a failure of vision? Hope is my work today.

In Ps. 72:2 today: 'May God judge your people with righteousness, & your poor with justice.' We've been divided by racism. They blame immigrants so we you won't blame billionaires. Love your neighbor. Resist misinformation. Teach & live compassion. Justice is my work today.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.73:26 today: 'But God is my heart's rock.' These are days to stay close to our foundations. Chaos and falsehood will not sustain us. Dig through the clutter. Live on rock. Prayer. Meditation. Compassion. Build an inner life on your heart's rock. Rock is my work today.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.74:15 today: 'You split open springs and streams.' God opens what is life giving and justice making. Division and oligarchy are not healing us. Hoarding will not save us. 'All flourishing is mutual,' says Robin Kimmerer. Seek the streams that heal. Open is my work today.

🚨 WOW! Ari Melber reveals a secret DOJ diagram exposing Jeffrey Epstein's uncharged inner circle. The FBI literally mapped out the co-conspirators, including Lesley Groff, but intentionally abandoned the leads!

The Trump administration actively protects elite predators!

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.75:1 today: 'Your name is near.' God is as near as our own breathing. God is not for chasing but for being with--mysterious, yes. Unclear, yes. Let the nearness be your breath. Notice the peace. Cultivate an inner life for these days. Near is my prayer today.

@AmericanSijo The now holds...the past walks. Nicely done.

We fucking told you so. We warned you all.
Anyway...

JUST IN: Reporter Catherine Herridge testifies that CBS News locked her out of the building and seized all her files, says she was working with sources to "expose government corruption."

Nothing at all going on here, folks.

"CBS News’ decision to seize my reporting records crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed by any media organization."

"Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct they would be identified and exposed."

"CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information."

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

In Ps. 76:4: 'You are ablaze with light, mightier than the mountains that give food.' 'Mountains that give food' reminds me of the first faith statement I heard my grandmother say (often): 'the Lord provides.' Not contracts. Not sells. Provides. Give is my prayer & work today.

Men claim to be ICE agents—block father carrying his baby girl from making their flight inside airport.

"They want to kidnap me!" he yells for help.

"I have my baby daughter... You have no heart—don't touch me!"

The Cuban family says agents told them to "go back to Mexico."

They were heading from Denver, Colorado to Miami, Florida with their baby daughter—when these alleged ICE agents tried to detain them.

Family ended up stuck in Denver after being unable to board their plane bound for Miami.

Authoritarian population engineering in action.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps. 77:19 today: 'Your way was through the sea, your path, through the mighty waters; yet your footprints were unseen.' We are being led through chaos by Love. Chaos is visible, but the footsteps of Love are unseen until we look back on them. Unseen is my prayer today.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.78:25 today: '...he sent them food in abundance.' This is our pilgrimage: discovery how God reveals enough for each day. Peace enough. Food enough. Hope enough. Enough for us to reject racism. Consider yesterday. Look for it today. Abundance is my work today.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.79:8 today: 'let your compassion come speedily to meet us.' What would change if we saw each other through the eyes of compassion? Our faith is world affirming--God seen--and seen with love. God is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Compassion is my work today.

[Dan Schwerin @dan_schwerin]

In Ps.80:7 today: '...let your face shine, that we may be saved.' There are consolations that surface the face of God: kindness, generosity, sacrifice--if we have eyes to see. Resist all the dividing afoot now. Seek the face of God and well-being. Face is my prayer today.
