Fear, Cruelty, and the Character Test of Our Generation of Americans Three Things Each of Us Can Do This Memorial Day

A generation of Americans gave their lives for democracy and the American idea.

This Memorial Day, we face our own test — not of war, but of character.

Fear is rising. So is cruelty. The question is: who will we choose to be?

I wrote about that here.

We do miss you so already.

Superb teaching/preaching on the substance of Good Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. None better!

Opinion | What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal. (Gift Article) It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

"I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist...this is what America needs right now. Trump is shackling the greatest institutions in American life. We have nothing to lose but our chains."

Liz speaks up again.
It's time for us to speak up.
Rise. Resist. Persist.
It's later than we think.

Dark times present and accounted for.

On Wisconsin!!

Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard Private Data and Passwords of Senior U.S. Security Officials Found Online Donald Trump's most important security advisers used Signal to discuss an imminent military strike. Now, reporting by DER SPIEGEL has found that the contact data of some of those officials, including mobile phone numbers, is freely accessible on the internet. By Patrick Beuth, Jörg Diehl, Roman Höfner, Roman Lehberger, Friederike Röhreke und Fidelius Schmid 26.03.2025, 21.20 Uhr

🚨NEW: Major development.

German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet.

‼️It includes details of Signal accounts.

“It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”

Ha! Yes. Auto Correct strikes again!

Trump’s Appetite for Revenge Is Insatiable The president is making good on his campaign promise.

What happens when religion summons darker impulses in people? When Christians excuse immoral conduct & spread conspiracy theories, decimate humanitarian programs that lead to millions of deaths & cheer it on..., who champion a President who is shattering the load-bearing walls of our democracy?

You are welcome to hang out at my shack and preach in various MadTown pulpits during the entire Lenten season. Good food and lively conversation by a warm fire accompanied by a glass of rye on the rocks. The door is wide open.

Opinion | Trump Is Breaking Things We Can’t Just Fix (Gift Article) The president’s about-face on Ukraine has taught our allies a lesson they won’t be unlearning anytime soon.

David French states the tragic obvious. People mock “hopes & prayers." When fallen humanity lives w/the illusion that we have control, as we do in the West, what's the alternative? Pray. Strength. Courage to suffer & persevere. Hope beyond the rational horizon. Love. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

Preach it Liz.

It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction.

Preach it Liz.

Keep piping up Liz. America needs your voice more than ever.

where can a fangurl put her hands on the Parchman Lectures?

I am so very excited to see this and have just contacted Hearts and Minds to see if I might get a copy!

A dear friend of mine came to faith watching Charlie Brown Christmas. 🥰

"The word 'spirituality,' used often in Christian discussions, tends toward a transfer of agency from God's prevenient grace to emphasize human qualities, preparation, readiness, or effort. The Christmas story is not 'spiritual.' It is a radical announcement of God's inbreaking."
