“Back to school week” should not mean “back to school shootings.” How long until we pass common sense gun control laws?!

With a one vote difference passing the middle of the night bill, the Republican party has officially declared themselves to be the anti-Robin Hood party. They are stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

To anyone who voted red last November, is this really what you voted for?

Well, that was a fun day at work.

Christian Nationalism is just White Supremacy in a poorly fitting Jesus costume. #RunningThoughts

Pope Francis questioned JD Vance’s ethical schema by arguing that extended meditation on the parable of the Good Samaritan will ultimately cut against it.

Pope Francis’s Stunning Rebuke of JD Vance Exposes MAGA’s Dark Soul

The vice president took a stab at theology to defend the administration’s rank cruelty. Then a higher authority weighed in.

Anyone think it’s possible to se Emma, Keira, and Des up on the podium today? I know it’s a long shot but it would be incredible! #BostonMarathon

Semi-random Bible fact: Palm branches are only mentioned in 25% of the Palm Sunday stories. Pretty sure "Cloak Sunday" is a more Biblically accurate name.

You know it's a good BIble study when you only get through half the slides and historical context and background you prepped because the conversation just takes off and goes so deep!

There are 2,781 billionaires in the world. That is 2,781 too many. There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. I'm pretty sure two commas is more than enough. That third one means you're just hoarding for yourself rather than sharing to make things better for everyone.

24 hours into the #BM100 no runners have completed Loop 2.

I think I just leveled up my digital ministry skills today. I was recording a conversation about preaching with an incredible preacher and I realized I didn't compress the video of them preaching a sermon and so naturally I dropped it into Handbrake and compressed it WHILE WE WERE TALKING.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
