@davidswanson So awful. So important. Thanks be to God for mercy and learning.

Meet the TX man who’s making customized caskets for each of the 19 young victims and two teachers from the school shooting in #Uvalde. Trey Ganem visited with the families last week so each casket is personalized to include each child's interests. 📷: SoulShine Industries

In my experience, the people who find God are usually people who are very serious about their quest and their questions, more so than being absolutely certain about their answers. I offer that as hard-won wisdom. #DailyMeditations @CACRadicalGrace ow.ly/4aCo50J7TuT

“Lord God, thank you for reminding us that although we are not perfect, we should continue to strive to be the best version of ourselves. Teach us to focus on what is important and sustaining towards our spiritual growth.” bit.ly/3MTc3Mm #devotions

I’m moved by this recent picture of Ukrainian Christians kneeling in prayer. Lord, we pray for the people of Ukraine during this difficult time. Protect the innocent and vulnerable. Give wisdom to global leaders. Humble the proud. Lord, we long & pray for peace. #PrayForUkraine

I have no words for how the sky looked at twilight this evening over the skyline. It's like God took pink paint and splashed it all over the place. Crazy color. Wildest sky I’ve ever seen. Click the photo for the whole pano. #weather #news #ilwx #chicago

Looking for a worship song about seeing/finding God in the everyday stuff of life. Any ideas? What comes to mind?

"“So often we put off rest because we are convinced that our work — our jobs, our families, or even our service for others — requires our constant attention.”" sojo.net/articles/rest-… via @sojourners

"“Boarding schools — along with the entire structure of our churches and government and policing and military — combine to create a particular world. White Christians are safe in that world.” — @gindaanis" sojo.net/articles/indig… via @sojourners

@davidswanson This is the truth. Thank you for stating it with such clarity. I have come to realize that carrying the cross of anti-racism requires that I carry it into my white community where I will be crucified. Christ, be my strength as I hope in resurrection.
