The media is getting this CEO murder story wrong. This isn't simply anti-elitest rage, but public awareness, anger, and pain about a corrupt and greedy corporation and system.

They are getting it wrong because if they got it right, it could inspire a rash of copycat killings.

@tracesoffaith Book Twitter is probably still fine. Nobody is coming on to roast you for your hot takes on Chaucer.
Political, social justice, theology Twitter have all gotten worse.
If you publicly oppose the genocide of Palestinians, Twitter will no longer be what you make of it

The Apostle Paul also appealed to Caesar, and it was his death sentence.

Today I had the privilege of being w/President Trump and a number of Christian leaders at a Faith Advisory Board gathering in Atlanta. Join me in praying for this nation!

Don't tell us the Nielson ratings.
Don't shame us for not watching.
Don't try to reassure us that other people are watching too.
There isn't a stat we care less about than ratings.

As a sports fan, in this economy, I think I speak for everyone when I say,
Nobody cares about how many other people are watching the games.

This is what progressive Mennonites usually mean by "in the world but not of the world."

I was a sailor
I was borne upon the tide
And with the sea, I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

Accepting the leadership of an illegal group was basically the neverending deadline that motivated him to actually do the work.

Menno Simons had ADHD.

Reviewing his story for a presentation recently, it seems to me that reading the Bible was a task he kept putting off and he was smart enough that he got a job without doing enough scripture reading.

What fictional death emotionally destroyed you?

[William Loewen 🌮 @wjloewen]

If you are invited to speak at a funeral,
you are allowed to cry
almost expected to cry.
Apologize, if you must,
but you are immediately forgiven
by those who are grieving with you.

@JohnBarlowMP What about the record profits by the corporations selling the food? Do you think that might inform the cost of food crisis? Do the conservatives have a plan to address corporate greed?

Are the mystics you know immune to the allure of the beating drums of the culture war?

The Mennonites I know, longtime proponents of thirdway thinking, are more guilty than most denominations of being conscripted into the culture wars.

[William Loewen 🌮 @wjloewen]

In "Beyond the culture wars," James KA Smith says mysticism and third way thinking can get us beyond polarization.
Take a listen.

The obvious choice for the Utah NHL team name is the Blizzard.

Unless they use this as an opportunity to change the NBA name to something that actually sounds like it comes from Utah. Then the Jazz-Blizzard connection no longer holds.
