Ravens played their worst game, by far, in the biggest of the year… they weren’t discipline.. they weren’t gritty.. they weren’t creative.. they just played bad.
On the flip side… The lights are the brightest and the Chiefs are playing better than ever. Nice reminder for all of us… we’re witnessing a dynasty for a reason. Smart, tough, competitive.. lead by 3 🐐s who refuse to lose.
Shit is BEAUTIFUL

If freedom is a cost and hope is a choice, preach from the margins to the margins… a 365 day a year task looking for the “but… my soul refuses to die” #homiletics2023 Dr Melva Sampson

Today she taught us: "Mitakuye Oyasin" - it is our prayer this afternoon. We are related to everything, and everything is related to us. 💞

@MatthewLSkinner: Sometimes we try to restrict mercy. We attach criteria for it and assume God limits it the way we do.
Blessing and mercy are only true if only *some* get it?? Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector to teach about mercy.

Parables have a way of holding up mirrors to us. Tell us how mercy should work.
We *should* grumble when people ask for mercy but then never change! We want to demand more from them!! Yet, we cannot assume any are apart from the mercy of God.

Our first instinct is to respond to the environment itself. But take lessons from the trees - go deep into your roots. Go deep into living water. Go deep so that nothing on the surface can overcome you. Bishop Michael Curry #homiletics2023

What you should know about Betterhelp therapists:
- they're not interviewed
- they're grossly underpaid (thereby attracting underperforming therapists)
- they're incentivized to take on too many clients to remember anything
- there is NO process to make sure you're a good fit – at Costa Mesa, CA

It has taken 233 years for the U.S. Congress to be fully represented by this country’s indigenous peoples.
Tonight, a Native American, a Native Alaskan & a Native Hawaiian are sitting members of the people’s House.
Welcome U.S. Representative Peltola to the 117th Congress! 🤙🏽

Still thinking about that $2.4mil the Archdiocese of KCK spent trying to get that extremely unpopular amendment passed. Like how many houseless, hungry people could that TWO MILLION DOLLARS have helped?
