One V.O.I.C.E.

Before I can bring my seat to the table, I have to make a hole in the roof to enter the building. #quriousthoughts #nomoreplayingnice

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. @BarackObama/how-to-make-this-moment-the-turning-point-for-real-change-9fa209806067" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@BarackObama/h…

Pilate. The originator of “I Said What I Said!” ~John 19:18-22

Do we lose the sentiment behind our words when we seek to “attract more bees with honey” than allowing raw emotion to come through?

How can we tell the difference in our voice being fine tuned, and it being snuffed out?

Is there such thing as being TOO passionate?!

Is it based on their individual walk? Is it based on your “elevation” and their “non-elevation”? Or, is it based on your comparison of where the person is against where you believe you are now located? This is a SERIOUS question. #igotquestions #ineedanswers

My great bible scholars, theologians, and wise people, can someone explain to me the concept of leaving folks behind when we reach a “new level” in God? Where was this taught, and is this theologically sound? What is the criteria for who get “left behind” or “cut off”?

all traditions -- nominal or nominal-adjacent, who attend church out of habit now -- will fade away after this period of pandemic exile, and never come back. This is something that all religious leaders should be thinking about and planning to fight. /end

churches in US, which focus entirely on the delivery of message, I wonder if this crisis will permanently alter the worship habits of their congregations. IOW, will those believers, after having spent months attending virtual church, come back after crisis is over, or 4/

I fear that a temporary change in churchgoing habits necessitated by coronavirus may end up with a sizable number of Americans deciding that "digital church" is a preferable way to have an ecclesial experience. I think this would be a *massive* mistake ... but I bet it's coming.

Be careful listening to someone else’s opinions about another person. People will take the story of that one and make it about them. The question is not what are they saying about the person. The bigger question is what are they saying about themselves? #quriousmondays

When the decision was made to push up daylight savings time, did anyone consider the children who would be standing outside in the dark waiting for the school bus or worse walking outside? Did that even matter?

“You’re acquainted with me, but you don’t KNOW me.”

Why do black preachers find it so hard to preach 8-9 minutes? What is the anxiety?

“My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start the race. They sent me 5,000 miles to finish it.” ~John Akhwari, Tanzanian Marathon Runner

“People give attention to anything they want to grow. Anything they want to die, they neglect. A lot of people must want our relationship to die.”
