"Stop The Hate" means stop ALL of the hate. Yes, all of it. Even the hate you have for people who are harmful. Only love restores our humanity. Only love slays the demon.

Accountability IS love. Love your enemies by never letting them off the hook.

Gracious God, we turn to you to guide our country’s leaders, to provide them the wisdom and desire to govern from a place of love for all of your creation. Give us strength to name the good as it occurs as well as to hold to account those who turn from your love! May it be so!

God help us!

It's mind-numbing listening to MAGAs trying to spin this Constitutional crisis and complete leadership clusterf*ck like it's somehow a good thing.

Don't Gaslight Yourself. You're Right To Grieve What's Happening to America. I know what you're thinking.

If enough time passes, an otherwise healthy person can start to get used to sickness.

They can slowly begin to convince themselves that almost any horrifying, toxic, painful, twisted reality is acceptable.

“Vergissenwut” or “Vergissenangst”?!?? I love making up German words!
But the real word maybe: “Vergesslichkeitsangst”!
