BREAKING: In a shocking rebuke of Donald Trump and JD Vance, Republican Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, just eviscerated the claim that Haitian immigrants have been eating cats and dogs. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Trump is lying
Tim Walz: Here’s my life hack for all the guys out there: surround yourself with smart women and listen to them and you’ll do just fine. That includes my fellow cat owner Taylor Swift.
It’s really great to have all of these women help us beat the smallest man in the world.. Donald Trump
@newheightshow#nodumbquestions Which type of game do you prefer to play? One where you are so clearly winning you just keep racking up the touchdowns? Or one that is really close like the Thursday night game with Baltimore?
Now that we have celebrated the Easter event, will we live as Easter people? Will we practice resurrection daily? Will we open doors every day to new dimensions of life? Will we be the face of grace to a hurting, hurtling, runaway world?
The resurrection of Jesus was God saying to the world something very clear; that darkness never has the final word. The worst thing is never the last thing, and no matter how difficult things get, we will all be okay in the end because of God's unending love for us.

Liz Cheney on Donald Trump: “While the attack was happening, he was handed a note. The note said…a civilian had been shot…He put it on the table in front of him, and he continued to watch the attack…That’s depravity. And that person can never be near the Oval Office again.”
A Blessing for Palm Sunday
Jesus, from that mountain
high among the olive trees,
it would have been an easy walk
down to the city,
to Jerusalem, which lay below.
So why choose to make your way
on a donkey,
on an everyday beast of burden,
your feet almost dragging on the ground?
And who are these people running, bending low,
to spread their precious cloaks
on the road before you,
waving palm branches and shouting,
“Save us! Hosanna to the Son of David!”?
What is the raw and urgent hope that rises in their songs?
“Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord!”
And, Jesus, why are you smiling?
Because it is true what they are saying,
though they can’t yet know the whole of it.
It is happening. It is unfolding
in slow motion,
the fulfillment of that promise from of old:
their savior would come,
humble, and riding on a donkey.
Blessed are we, on this side of history
shouting, “Come, Lord, save us too!”
We know how it ends, and still we forget
to rush toward our humble,
forgettable king
and yell, “Hosanna, hosanna,
our hope is in you!”
Thank you @DisneyPlus and @taylorswift13 for the Eras tour now streaming on Disney+. Our Taylor obsessed five year old is through the moon and our Amazon account will now be so much more reasonable. Because every time we change the password- he figures it out.
A Blessing for Honest Faith
God, I am disappointed and embarrassed
at what people get up to
in the name of religion.
My heart is thirsty for a faith I can trust.
And I mean that.
I don’t trust the cultural scripts
that turn religion into any game
where somebody wins
and somebody loses,
and there is the strong scent
of the entrepreneur.
Somebody is selling something.
And from the recesses of my mind
from some very early encounter,
I think I must have met the real you, God.
That somehow I met goodness so pure
it settled my heart to understand
trustworthiness of a majesty and stature
that thereafter I could accept
no counterfeits.
God, come and show yourself again.
Show me faith that cannot be faked.
Let me see you in the loveliness of others
living out their faith so genuinely,
so honestly,
that you shine through.
And if I can’t get all the theology right,
let me not worry too long.
I suspect you’d rather I live honestly
by the light of what I know to do
that looks most like you,
and keep quiet about the rest.
