There’s nothing beautiful about betraying the poor, turning our backs on the stranger, and abandoning the sick.

Jesus said, “Whatever you do to the least of these…”

And we just did the opposite.

I'm trying something new - a newsletter style blog for anyone seeking companionship in contemplating our mortal lives at the intersections of faith, spirituality, parenthood, mental health, grief, & liminal spaces of life. It's called Mortal Wonder, I hope you'll join me.

Remember: MAGA wants your tears. They laugh at them. Your tears -- and your fears -- sustain them. Musk and Trump feed on your grief and outrage.

Cry privately. Feel your fear and get on with it. The only way out is through. And the only way through is together.

They believe that inflicting suffering is the path to salvation.

They are like medieval inquisitors torturing a heretic in order to save their soul. Crusades rejoicing the death of the enemy.

That's hard to fight. But the antidotes are love, courage, community, persistence, and connection.

Trump will never know love. Musk will never know love. Remember that. These are spiritually and psychological wounded and broken humans with wealth and power. And they are doing this from that twisted place.

Be strengthened by love.

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” -Isaiah 5:20

Lord, have mercy.

Today is a reminder that evangelicals would be the first to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
