Gave a sermon that I'd written 8 years ago, tore up, rewrote, and then rewrote again, mostly because it was so much fun to write.
Almost as much fun as it was to deliver.
Sermon's 38 minutes in, if you want to skip my lyrical Call to Worship.

As a friend pointed out in another forum, "it's hard to get fired from a UAW job," and thank God for that.
And thank you, UAW, for doing the right thing here. You're all right, sometimes.

Hey for the record, “Trump is going to do whatever he wants and ignore congress anyway” is an argument against incrementalism, not for it.
Why are you scaling back the size of the ask in that scenario, other than to show off the pitiful limits of your own imagination

Plenty of people knew but felt they could do nothing to stop it.
Or, didn't care to stop it. It was other people, after all.

I haven't watched any of the videos of the shooting of Renee Good but the fact that people on the left think it was murder while people on the right think it was self-defense shows that that the truth must be somewhere in the middle.

Who *doesn't* see it?
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
