In Ps.108:1 today: 'My heart is unwavering, God.' Recalling these principles from King: 'the Beloved Community is the framework for the future,' & 'non-violence is a way of life for courageous people.' I believe in the sun even when it's not shining. Unwavering is my work today.

Trump: I didnβt say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with meβ¦ Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

In Ps.109:28 today: 'They may curse but you will bless.' Do we want to live in a world of name calling? What is the fruit of misinformation? Who gains from it? May our words bless compassion and justice. Offer our children a better world. Bless is my work today.

Woman forcefully detained in Keys was driving βillegalβ boyfriendβs car, feds say
The woman in medical scrubs, who was a U.S. citizen, was yanked from her car and wrestled to the ground by federal immigration agents in a Key Largo traffic stop Wednesday before she was released.
"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'Iβm a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?'
She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work."

In Ps. 110:6 today: 'God brings the nations to justice.' Meister Eckhart said, 'God and justice are completely one.' God is not concerned with our culture wars. Is there food insecurity? Due process for the powerless? Just sharing? Resist oligarchy. Justice is my work today.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

In Ps. 112:5 today: 'It is well with those who deal generously.' Generosity & well-being are sisters, offspring of justice & mercy. In a moment of rage bait algorithms, & fear of immigrants, deal generously. Consider grace. Generously is my meditation today.
