Can we talk about how many members of the military, TSA agents, other federal workers, and so many others are just one paycheck away from hunger?

I love it when people insult me using language that I wholeheartedly claim.

The latest one is trying to slam me for saying God loves everyone. “Pastor Lura Groen, an admitted universalist…”

Ok, you got me. 🤷‍♀️

In case it isn’t crystal clear from this picture, I don’t see any human as a devil, but the hordes are definitely the ICE agents here. Hate that I have to clarify that.

The picture comes from this article: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

ICE would need more money to expand use of bodycams in Chicago crackdown, official says

ICE's deputy field office director said ICE agents have worn no cameras working at a facility in Broadview that has been the site of protests.

“Though hordes of devils fill the land
all threatening to devour us,
We tremble not unmoved we stand;
they cannot overpower us.”

Reformation Sunday hit differently this year.

White men...the story you were taught about yourselves was never true.

It promised power, but stole your humanity. It gave you control, but robbed you of connection.

It’s time to unlearn the lies.

Give money to food banks.

Or even better- directly to people in need.

It’s always the most efficient way to help.

Game: name a skill/talent/special interest you have that no one has ever asked you to use in church.

The rest of us will try to brainstorm a way it could be useful in church. As silly or serious as you’d like.

I’ll start: I can care for and milk goats.

You know how there are humans so splendid that knowing them makes you want to sing psalms to God for creating such a person as this?

You’re one of them.

The angels sign praises to God because of you.

Only for the dog-obsessed, or at least those not repulsed by the messy realities of living with dogs:

Clara tries to slip her tongue in my mouth, and almost never succeeds. But tonight she did and I accidentally bit it AND THAT WAS A SURPRISE NEITHER ONE OF US LIKED

All that stuff is all tied up with sexuality, with the erotic, with gender, with identity, in ways I have no words for beyond "Queer."

And maybe "holy."

They are nearly the same word for me.

‪‪I don't know how I feel about #NationalComingOutDay.

But I know my Queerness is in the Image of God.

I know that the more I dwell in God, the more Queer I feel. And fiercer, and more vulnerable, and more loving, angrier, and less suited to this world yet more in it.

It’s been way too long since you’ve had a new God Crush episode, and sorry, you have to keep waiting. Instead you get unedited Lura and Ari talking about tradcath furries and elephant healing.

(Yes, this is what we sound like when we are just hanging out.)

I just innocently said “six inches of grace” in a roomful of Queer clergy.

I bet you can guess how that went.

Unpopular opinion - all the bad shit Trump is doing is not a distraction from the Epstein files, it’s his actual agenda. He wants the facism.

BUT the Epstein files are *our* way of distracting him from *his* agenda. And to a lesser extent, his Qanon followers.

Keep calling for their release!
