Nov 3 Scripture
If our tendency is to affirm and support the rich, powerful, and famous over the poor, the vulnerable, and helpless, then we really have not understood Christ or Christianity. As Jesus puts it, "When you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind" (Lk 14:13).

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Great article from Michelle Goldberg. I'm riding with Graham for now, though I still want to hear from other candidates (Wood, Costello). But Platner checks the one box I need to have checked: he sees what's happening in our country and vows to fight it.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.
But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

Oct 29 Scripture
"Strive to enter through the narrow gate" (Lk 13:24) means to walk the path Jesus trod - of empathy, mercy, clean heart, humility, non-violence, peace, righteousness, and self-sacrifice. When this is difficult, as Paul says, "The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness" (Rom 8:26).

Rule of Law Alert: Trumpโs authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesnโt mention tariffsโbut does require a national emergency.
An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Lord, save us from being so wedded
to the laws we distil and devise,
that we become divorced
from the law of your love.
Keep us from being so constrained
by the rules we follow,
that we are diverted from following
your wisdom and grace.
Open our hearts to your way.
