The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Two purple tulips in a vase, their pointed leaves still standing up straight as if they were guards. The vase is a black wire basket, shaped like a gourd, with a slim glass tube holding the water, placed within the wire basket.

The Lord works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.

Sunrise over Cape Cod Bay, a seagull soaring over the sun peeking over grey clouds at the horizon, the sun’s light making a path across the grey-green water.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Sunset: sky shades of orange at the horizon, fading to blue with soft pink clouds; winter bare deciduous trees and evergreens in silhouette.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all God’s benefits—who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases…

So, it was Iran? Not China? Not Venezuela? Not the radical left?

We are living inside the minute-by-minute delusions of a madman.

Kansas invalidates driver’s licenses, birth certificates of over 1,000 transgender residents The Kansas state government has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents who changed the gender on those documents, in accordance with a law that took effect o...

When fascists take rights away from a group of people, they never stop there. Eventually, they come for everything. Invalidating the drivers licenses of trans people in Kansas is just the start. Who will be next?

The PEACE PRESIDENT is
willing to let young Americans die so not be held accountable for his pedophilia and the fact he knows he cannot win the midterms
Republican Leadership must stop his treasonous actions
Declared war without Congressional Approval

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless God’s holy name.

Afton overlook in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. Blue Ridge mountains, snow-covered, in the far distance. In the foreground, a town. In the middle distance, dense woods.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.

Trump referred to voting as a "privilege" rather than a right. It's generally "voting rights," not "voting privileges."

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life.

Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

Snow on a tangle of tree branches, close up.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.

From now on, those are the Trump Files.

Excellent explanation of the Supreme Court striking down the pedophile president's illegal tariffs. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

Banksy street art, found at the Lost Dog Cafe in Binghamton, NY. His piece, “Life Is Beautiful,” a simple portrait of the great Billie Holiday, in profile, singing, with a red flower in her hair, and the words LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, as if they are coming from her, a song.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and steadfast spirit within me.

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

The Brits woke up today and chose justice.

Photo of a 64-year-old woman with short, graying hair red rimmed sunglasses, blue eyes, and a cross made from a coconut shell (which you can’t see, you can only see the braided cord from which it hangs): vested for Ash Wednesday service. Wearing a purple clerical shirt, a long black jacket, and a purple stole. Lent is purple.

On a lighter note—a three-year-old (B.)and his mom watched our livestream of Ash Wednesday last evening. I was the cantor for Holden Evening Prayer. This morning B. Told his grandma that I “sing as well as Elton John.”

Former Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert went to prison for molesting children.

Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times

Current Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson seems to be running a pedo protection program.

Do you think Republicans have a problem?

Trump's immigration savages rammed his head.

They should be immediately fired & arrested.

Every Republican should be made to answer about this.

Find Melania Trump & force her to comment on it...then Susan Collins, Mike Johnson, Thune, & every swing district lawmaker must answer for this & this 🧵⬇️

Pastor weighing in: yup.

Rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment.
