In Ps.76:10: 'Even human rage will turn to your praise.' The beach glass on my desk began broken & has become beautiful. The rage from racially profiled abduction is important but also a weight in the soul. Remember your baptism. Contain multitudes. Turn is my prayer today.

In Ps.77:19 today: 'yet your footprints were unseen.' God's work is often unseen until after we look back on an Exodus. That means hope is present but unseen. Racial profiling, using military on citizens, toying with voting maps are dangerous theater. Unseen is my hope today.

We stand for #MarriageEquality

In Ps.78:39 today: 'God kept remembering that they were just flesh, just breath that passes & doesn't come back.' Our mortal limits turn us to God & empathy. Floods in MKE remind us. Remember our common dignity. The immigrant. Unhoused. Human. Remembering is my work today.

“Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” 🔥 🔥 🔥

In Ps.79:8 today: 'let your compassion comes speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.' In a 'God is with us universe,' God is the 'fellow sufferer who understands,' says Whitehead. These days need neighborliness not division. Compassion is my work today.

Lisa Murkowski Suddenly Realizes She Got Played on Trump Budget Bill The Alaska senator clearly thought the leopards would never eat her face.

Remember all of those hefty handouts Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski won in exchange for sealing the deal on Donald Trump’s behemoth budget bill? It looks like the president has found a way to get out of delivering.

Gunman in Deadly C.D.C. Shooting Fixated on Covid Vaccine, Officials Say The shooting in Atlanta, which killed a police officer, followed the spread of false information around Covid vaccines and animosity directed at the agency, public health workers say.

The gunman who opened fire on the CDC headquarters in Atlanta on Friday was a 30-year-old who had become fixated with the coronavirus vaccine, officials said. The attack comes after the spread of false information around the vaccines and animosity directed at the agency, public health workers say.

In Ps.80:18 today: 'Breathe life into our lungs so we can shout your name.' God is as near as our breath. While cuts loom to vaccine and cancer research we must wake up to the death-dealing of misinformation. Pray. Wage hope. Get a second wind. Life is my work today.

In Ps. 81:7 today: 'I answered you in the secret of thunder.' Sometimes God speaks from the storm. God spoke to Job in the whirlwind. I have loved to watch a beautiful storm play out. We are in a place of chaos. Listen. A way will be made. 'Answered' is my trust today.

In Ps.82:3 today: 'Give justice to the lowly in the orphan.' True religion, for James 1:27, is care for the widow & orphan. Eckhart said God & justice are completely one. Cornell West says justice is what love looks like in public. Live ubuntu. Justice is my work today.

“I have decided to stick with Love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

Noticing a pattern here.

In Ps. 83:1: 'O God, do not keep silence.' Ps. 46 says, 'be still & know I am God.' Rumi has a line: 'let silence tell you the secrets of the world.' Yet we want action & a clear voice. Big wealth runs the media. Maybe silence is the near side of God. Silence is my prayer today.

In Ps.84:5 today: 'Happy are those who strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.' From the Damascus Road to Emmaus, pilgrimage is embedded in scripture. Life is pilgrimage because we cannot stay where we are. God is the call forward. Strength is my prayer today.

Disgusting.

In Ps. 85:8 today: 'Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people.' Julian of Norwich calls God the true rest, who wants to be, our true resting place. While we pray for peace we seek this sustaining. Peace is a practice. Peace is my work today.

Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store.

One more dawn.

One more day.

One day more.

Astute observation.

In Ps.86:11 today: 'Teach me your way, Lord, so that I can walk in your truth.' John says grace & truth came through Jesus Christ. We live in the truth of neighborliness. Generosity. Service. Justice. Use multiple news sources & pray for a teachable heart. Truth is my work today.
