God is the madwoman in the attic. I'm camped on the threshold with my journal, camera & plenty of snacks.

[Shannon Dingle, M.A.Ed. @ShannonDingle]

We’re still here. We’re still doing the next right thing, which can be cooking or ordering in, activity or rest, conversation or quiet, holding to plans or changing them.

Be similarly gentle to yourself today and tomorrow and always, because you are worthy of your own kindness.

[Jenni Lincoln @jennilincoln]

when the Madwoman clears you from her threshold, she will send you with a Call. (faith after #EvolvingFaith)

I can't imagine Jesus wearing a "God bless America" shirt any more than I can imagine Jesus wearing a "God Bless Rome" shirt.

Jesus has blessed the poor, the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers...

The question for America is: "Will we bless the ones whom God has blessed?"

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

The problem with patriotism is that it's just too small. God invites us to love bigger than biology or nationality. The Bible does't say "For God so loved America" but it says "For God so loved the world." Our love doesn't stop at borders. No wall can hold it back. #FourthOfJuly

@wotsac Ha! Too true... Poor kitty

Some self-affirmations to repeat to yourself today and every day:
• I deserve to take up space
• My existence has purpose
• Mistakes do not define me

[Glennon Doyle @GlennonDoyle]

, @SecNielsen, testifying today, had said @DHSgov is doing everything it can to reunite the children it tore apart. We are calling on @HomelandDems to demand release of the asylum-seeking families we crossed with this weekend so they can reunite w their kids. #ReunifyFamilies

More than anything today, I hope you have a soft place to land, and that maybe you get to be someone else’s soft landing place.

Some people worship the name of King Jesus, but follow the politics of King Herod—we are pragmatists you see, & Herod’s way is more “practical.”

Some people want Jesus’ name, but Herod’s policies.

Christmas is about believing what a woman said about her sex life.

Christmas is about a family finding safety as asylum seekers.

Christmas is about a child in need receiving support from the wealthy.

Christmas is about God identifying with the marginalized, not the powerful.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Just a thought: Which should be considered more “marginal” - believing in Santa at age 7 or not believing in climate change at age 72?

[masculinity enjoyer @Snepblep]

So when I was a kid I, I had a raggedy Ann doll given to me by my grandmother. It had my birth name embroidered into a heart on it's chest.

This Christmas my Grandmother borrowed it and gave it back, now with pants, shorter hair, and my new name sewn in place. Hes trans, like me

The party of Christian values shut down the government at Christmas because they can’t get $5 billion for a giant sign that says “NO ROOM AT THE INN.”

[Bella @Bellaknit]

Before you comment on a family member or friends weight or what they eat this holiday season remember this one simple thing

Shut up.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Whenever we build walls to keep people out, Jesus goes over to their side of the wall and invites us to join him there.

[Katey Howes @Kateywrites]

My 13 y.o. just stormed into the room, yelled “massive mood swing! No apparent reason! Give me my dog!” and left with the pup. I call that excellent self-management (and entertaining teenager theater.)

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Someone in my Instagram comments said I want to enforce Shakira Law.

And you know, hips don’t lie!
