We have been given all the love and guidance and wisdom literature we need to accept that the path towards peace, the Way of hope and love, holds no excuses for hatred and white supremacy. This worldview of love is entirely other than a political propaganda that successfully, in macro and micro ways, diminishes the humanity of image-bearing people to make their paler peers maintain power and wealth. Terrorism today is the face of armed white supremacy and white collared wealthy superpower individuals who direct political systems like puppeteers. It is not the brown people who were martyred in their place of worship. It is not the brown people seeking asylum. It is not the black people convicted of crimes their white neighbors easily escape. • Blessed are the peacemakers, the ones who suffer, the ones who don’t get to write the script that villianizes them, all the while being under attack. Blessed are the peacemakers, the ones who accept zero racial discrimination and pronounce the evil in our country and world accurately. The ones who lay down their guns, their white privilege and their old prejudices for a truth-loving, heartbreaking reality which has benefited them for too long. Blessed are the peacemakers who question the defense and exceptionalism applied to white terrorists while the life histories and stereotypes of gunned down black men splatter before their innocent bodies are cold. • Blessed are the peacemakers who mourn with those who mourn, believing that all mothers and grandparents and children deserve the same safety and protection and decency in their places of worship and the public square. Blessed are the peacemakers who receive the call to peace not as a shutting in and closing out but an anthem forward into the subversive battle for truth and justice. There is no peace as long as the war mongers control the language. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. • God have mercy. Wake up, America. We helped this. We do this. • #blessedarethepeacemakers #matthew59 #mourning #peace #newzealand #terrorism #massshooting #mosqueshooting #whitesupremacyisterrorism #america #endwhitesupremacy #resist

Cooking for an army today. Feeling gratitude for simple gifts—fresh produce, public libraries, spring sunshine, friends who share...It often feels like one big crap shoot but the grounding, the moment, the small—-these suggest otherwise. • • #gracerighthere #ordinarygrace #simplicity #dailygrace #gratitude #simplelife #focus #bringitin #daybyday #icook #soupbase

My Body Knows... new reflections at the link in bio from this adoptee grown ass woman mother about my body and all it has meant to me. My body knows things I do not. We are becoming friends. • As women, looking at ourselves long and hard and reclaiming the space we take and reloving the bodies we have may be the bravest and most empowering internal work. We are embodied souls and we must not continue to abuse or ignore this home. • #internationalwomensday #womenempowerment #christianwoman #motherhood #womenempoweringwomen #embodiment #selfcare #selfawareness #adoptee #adopteevoices #bodypositive #womenwriters #nonfiction #feminismisequality #feminist

New post up today about Lent as a collective pilgrimage where, finally, our whole self is invited. And a few Lent guides to consider as we walk hand in hand to truth and liberation. • • #ashwednesday #lent #writingfromwithin #lentguide #goodgrief #deathbeforelife #theologyofsuffering #faceyourfears #integrity #authenticfaith #recommendedreading @christenacleveland @rachelheldevans @lentenlamentations

Let’s all take a deep breath and hide under a table for a minute. Clothing optional. • • #monday #breathe #selftimeout #weekendhangover #pullup #threeyearsyoung #takeabreak #quietplace #groundyourself

// And now we have a chance to be extraordinary. // Beloved and broken, whatever is breaking your heart right now, whatever new thing has shattered your world and disappointed your very bones, turn in and turn up, not out. • Here in these weighty hours we can journey with budding capes into the depths of ourselves and our faith, or we can slump into the sledge of gossip and indulgence and over-speaking. Now, in this fleeting but burdensome moment, there is a choice: nurturing love through generous silence and discipline and discretion OR nurturing pain through flailing words and extra details and insecure assertions. • Now is a chance to pretend to be wise until we tend to be wise. Now is a time to look deeply and lovingly inside and heavenward, because aren’t we so tender? Isn’t this the type of moment that outlasts and defines and forms? Let’s not sink into the mire of our least mindful and most naive selves. Hold on to the greatness around you and be tempered by this gravity. • • #talkless #discipline #silence #hurtpeoplehurtpeople #wisdom #gossip #crisis #coping #grief #kindness #goupnotout #selfawareness #maturity #selfdiscipline #asimpleway #loveoneanother #chatterbait #seekwisecounsel
