Also…just what in the ever loving world? My Twitter is basically just an @BethMooreLPM fan account. What marks me as a prime “this looks like a great place to sale our ray bans” target?

PASTORS IN A PANDEMIC
{A thread}
Everyone has had a truly difficult year and the past 12 months have been brutal, refining and unpredictable. From my perspective, I’ve seen how it’s affected pastors emotionally, mentally and professionally.
I am a believer in the abundant fruitful life. I take my right to joy seriously. I believe to my bones, if we’re in him & 1 part of the life shrinks, if we’ll ask him, trust him, partner with him, he’ll make another part grow. And he did. Literally. I set my mind to grow things.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.” Our nation is better because of the light that shined and the love that showed from the life of Martin Luther King, JR. There’s much more work for us to do, together.
I want to go on the record as unequivocally condemning this violence, and saying this has absolutely nothing to do with the way of Jesus, or faithful Christian witness.
I’ve been grieving my father-in-laws death all day. Just turned on the news. MY GOD. This is wrong. Words have consequences. This is not the way of Jesus or His Kingdom or His people. NEVER.
