No complaints from me about being politically homeless: Exile is often essential to faith. If your faith is so closely identified with your politics that the two are indistinguishable then your god may well be your politics - a cruel and merciless tyrant if there ever was one.

Memphis is a music city because of BLACK music. Music made by BLACK artists, BLACK musicians, BLACK Memphians. We cannot turn up the music, then choose not to hear.
We must ALL raise our voices to declare that BLACK LIVES MATTER. #blacklivesmatter

What is theology? It is faith seeking understanding. It is a life given to increasingly hard questions which make of us humble pilgrims rather than cocky easy answer dispensers. It is trust before the abyss. Faith without questions is superstitious tyranny sliding into fanaticism

The 2nd wave was worse than the first wave.
We must be cautious. The war isn’t won yet.

If you love an album, why not own it? Musicians make a lot more money from sales than from streaming; money they desperately need in times like this! And let's be honest, money spent on music is always money well-spent 🥰💿🕺

I need to clarify what I mean by “John is stable”. That is not the same as improving. There is no cure for Covid-19. He needs our prayers and love - as do the thousands of others who are critically ill. Stay at home. Wash your hands. We love you.

My mother is not expendable. Your mother is not expendable.
We will not put a dollar figure on human life.
We can have a public health strategy that is consistent with an economic one.
No one should be talking about social darwinism for the sake of the stock market.

The crisis will contribute to who we become but it is revealing who we already are.
