An old prophet says do what's right, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. So that's what we do. I'm a spiritual director & corporate chaplain.

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

This is an extraordinary, political statement.

“To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.”

—James Baldwin

To be White in this country and to be relatively conscious is to understand why the Negro is in a rage almost all the time. #AhmaudArbery #SeanReed #COVID19

"During a pandemic, we are more tempted than ever to ignore God’s invitation of rest." Listen to @tamarajhmurphy and @BpToddHunter discuss why spiritual direction is a gift for our times. https://t.co/0nqeuXdErq

@ChrisHeuertz Love it. Made me think of this scene from VEEP where Jonah starts a chant at his campaign rally, “No more math!”

“The deepest motive for mission is simply the desire to be with Jesus where he is, on the frontier between the reign of God and the usurped dominion of the devil.”

"Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds." Psalm 105

See that last tiny box on the right that reads 1%? That’s the percentage of #youngpeople who have had a religious leader reach out to them during stay-at-home. (P.S., half have started new religious practices during this time.) #clergy #youthmin #youthministry @WeAreSpringtide

I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
I have told everyone in the great assembly

"Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!
The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.
The Lord protects them
and keeps them alive.
The Lord nurses them when they are sick
and restores them to health." Psalm 41

[Fleming Rutledge @flemingrut]

...O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against the foe
Should strive, and should prevail.

--J. H. Newman (Romans 5:12-21)

"Lord, through all the generations
you have been our home!
Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God." Psalm 90

"Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.

I love this article about imaging Easter in all it's counter-cultural revolutionary-ness right now.
