The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Damn, you lost your soul but didn’t even gain the whole world? I’m embarrassed for you.

A disembodied gospel is no Good News at all.

The gospel is incarnational.

I believe that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

Looking at the universe who would be so feeble-minded as not to believe that God is all in all—that He clothes himself with the universe and at the same time contains it and dwells in it? What exists depends on Him who exists and nothing can exist except in the bosom of Him who is. ~Gregory of Nyssa

God has deserted us. And we have earned it.

This man is one of Marco Rubio's newest hires at the State Department. It's hard to even comprehend the mindset that says that he's qualified to represent the United States in any capacity at all.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Didn’t expect to be tearing up about birds but here we are
Something knocked the breath out of me this week. Don’t get hung up on that. A lot of people have been hit by things 1000 times worse. It really got me. I’ve spent a good bit of my morning prayer this week asking God to help me back up and settle my queasy insides. Anyway, there’s this bird . . .

Hey hey hey,

If you were offended by what Rev. Mariann Budde said this week then you would have unequivocally hated MLK too.

What is abundantly clear in many of the negative responses to Bishop Budde’s invitation to mercy is that many Christians either do not know Jesus or have simply rejected him.

But there is a better way.

Today is the day of salvation.

I’m so tired. The past few months have felt exhausting for so many reasons.

But this has made me realize how good U2’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind is.

It might be corny but Walk On describes the sentiment I’m trying to conjure up in myself.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
