In Ps.19:8 today: 'The Lord's commands are pure, giving light to the eyes.' What light pierces willful ignorance? What light exposes how big money deprives the increase of common good? What light changes the sky & gives us hope? Who is the Lord of light? Light is my work today.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

In Ps. 20:8 today: 'The nations that trust in the ways of war will stumble and fall, but those who trust the Great Spirit will rise and stand tall,' (FNV). The ways of violence increase injury & vengeance. Resist injustice. Trust repair. Trust ubuntu. Trust is my work today.

In Ps. 21:13 today: ' Be exalted, Lord, in your strength!' Our strength in the world is not via corruption or brutality. Our strength is through peace & God-given resilience. Those who wait on the Lord renew their strength. Pray for Spokane. Menasha. Strength is my work today.

In Ps.22:26 today: '...those who seek him shall praise the Lord.' If a sparrow is allowed refuge for her nest, why not humans? May all who seek, find the refuge of God, a place to shelter. Hospitality is the heart of God. God has no hands but our hands. Seek is my prayer today.

Since the government shockingly admitted, they lied about the reflecting pool, now they can move on to the Epstein files.

TO RECAP: - Prez paid his corrupt friend millions to turn Reflecting Pool blue, it turned green - matting came loose - so he arrested an Olympic athlete and 6 other innocent Americans and tried to pin it on them - all his cronies lied that these people as vandals - case dismissed on zero evidence

It should, but we all know the press won't actually, you know, PRESS him on this.

In Ps.23:2 today: 'He leads me besides still waters.' The sheep need to drink, and they prefer calm water to rushing streams. We thirst for tranquility. The peaceful way leads to the restored soul. Consider your thirst for a restored soul. Be still. Be. Still is my prayer today.

In Ps. 24:1 today: 'The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it.' The earth is on fire and yet we have chosen leadership that protects us from taking responsibility. The earth is speaking clearly. Consider choices that bless until the 7th generation. Earth is my work today.

In Ps.25:21 today: 'Let integrity and virtue guard me because I hope in you.' We've allowed ourselves to be talked out of integrity and virtue for ideology and fear. Our hope is in a deeper love lived in mutual benefit. God provides. Practicing hope is my work today.

Dr. Fauci is a national hero. Leave him alone. Donald Trump is the moron who told people to drink bleach and got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed.

People with money are never held accountable in this country. If the laws don't apply to everyone,you don't have a country. You have a country in which poor people have to obey or else.

In Ps. 26:3 today: 'Because your faithful love is right in front of me--I walk in your truth.' Misinformation leads to darkness. Division. Harm. Love desires freedom and well-being for the other. Think critically. Reject the lies of racism. Truth is my work today.

Remember this??? #Midterms

Update: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.” Thank you, Governor Beshear!

You would think Potus falling into a deep slumber, every day, on TV, would be a bigger story.... ....but Sleepy Joe.... Our media is hopelessly broken.

It’s crazy to me this isn’t a daily refrain from Democrats.

NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of “affirmative asylum” applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

In Ps.28:6 today: 'Bless the Lord because he has listened to my request for mercy!' An eye for an eye has to end somewhere. Cruelty will come back to us. The battle of dominance and non-dominance is a plague that robs the future. The merciful heal. Mercy is my work today.
