All growth requires the practice of established disciplines (e.g., exercise and contemplation) and the reversal of conventional wisdom (e.g., there must be winners and losers; people must be prodded by leaders to get anything done). This is a paradox. 1/4

These Masters mile times could be read as age-defying achievements. Or they are the gifts of age: self-awareness, discipline, fortitude, resilience, and the energy of history applied in the moment. https://t.co/uH6PDFi3Ia

And then the Spirit may move, as prophesied of old: the Spirit poured out on everyone, young and old, inside and outside, strangers made friends, friends made neighbors, neighbors who each bring some gift of the Spirit for the common good.

It’s #Pentecost Sunday in the Christian tradition. The Spirit may yet move in empty sacred spaces. Somebody open the door. Somebody step outside. Someone invite neighbors inside with the genuine invitation: Make of this space what you will for the healing of the community. 1/2

@edjsandoval @veronicagcarde1 @nytimes Thank you for your reporting.

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: “Restore us” is the people’s plea (Ps 80). “God with us” is the reply — not a panacea but a presence, not a solution but a story, an abiding story. “And they shall name him Immanuel” (Mt 1:23).

@AMBankstw Congratulations, Adelle! And thank you!

[Daniel Pryfogle @daniel_pryfogle]

Without the embrace of the paradox, we move through each day willy-nilly, having abdicated our power of direction by neglecting what we should do and falling into line with what we know, either consciously or unconsciously, is not true. 3/4

Eloise Sheats looks at an empty wing of Macedonia United Methodist Church in Cary, NC — and she sees the possibility of social impact. Her congregation will clarify the vision through the Church & Community Placemaking Lab, sponsored by @OrmondCenter in partnership with Sympara.

[Daniel Pryfogle @daniel_pryfogle]

@_Sympara_ @OrmondCenter We’re thrilled to also partner with @cgergen and Forward Impact in this work!

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: These are healthy directions. Work for the well-being of the place where you live (Jer 29:7). Make joyful noise, especially when it makes no sense given your circumstances (Ps 66:1). Trust your longing. Rise and go your way (Luke 17:19).

[Daniel Pryfogle @daniel_pryfogle]

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: The religious leader is right that six days are for work (Lk 13:14) — the world needs work (Is 58:12) — but wrong about ceasing on the Sabbath, for this day is made holy as the self finds work’s end and beginning in serving others.

@sqpt Prophets bemoan and pride themselves on isolation. “I’m the last one left,” said Elijah. I’m the only one. I’m the voice of the voiceless. It all depends on me. The Spirit exposes the pride and calls prophets out/into the wonder of God’s provision and accompaniment in community.
