God Isn't a Republican or a Democrat; God Is an Immigrant
When we close ourselves off from immigrants, we are closing ourselves off from experiencing God.

Today when preaching about following Woman Wisdom/the Feminine side of God, I realized that @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social was a great embodiment of Woman Wisdom in the world. And when the little 8 year old girl in the third row lit up at the mention of Ms. Rachel, I knew I was right.

In the UMC our baptismal vows call us to live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit to "resist evil, injustice, and oppression..."
I'm growing more convinced that the evils, injustice, and oppression we make excuses for are really just our idols we would rather worship instead of Jesus.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.
Our latest wild story.

ICE unlawfully grabbed our client Rümeysa Öztürk off the street and sent her to a for-profit detention center in Louisiana — all for an op-ed she co-authored in her student paper.
What happened to Rümeysa is part of a broader crackdown on the First Amendment and immigrants' rights.

Let's say Mark was written by a Mathematician, John by a theater kid, and Luke by an activist. How would we classify Matthew?

I have gone on a few planning retreats in the past year, and the body doubling has helped me get things done and have people around me to bounce ideas off of. Since I won't attend one this June (sorry, friends), I will try to make one virtually.

Best Transgender Day of Visibility ever.
Special thanks to the Maryland Republican Party for making sure I knew about the Trans Pride party at the Glen Burnie library.
I was able to go there early and almost finish my DMin paper that is due tomorrow.

Helpful historical context from Dr. Barbara A. Holmes's Crisis Contemplation.
If you have time this Saturday (3/15) at 1:30 PM in Elkridge, MD I'll be offering a spiritual practices workshop as a way to develop a connected contemplative community during these unstable times.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.
