I asked the Covenant parents nonprofit if they felt the legislature cared about what they'd been through the last few months. Emotions were very raw. "It's concerning how much more they may care about what the lobbyists from the gun industry have to say." @WKRN #TNLeg23

How’s Tennessee’s special session on public safety going? Senate Republicans tabled a bill on mental health coverage and shut down the meeting — all in 36 seconds. #TNSpecialSession

Here are troopers telling us we couldn’t be in the rotunda today, where we have always reported from, because it was “full” — despite nobody being there, as you can see. They roped it off so legislators could ignore the people without discomfort. #TNSpecialSession

With #KremlinCameron @CSexton25 banning signs (but not guns) at the legislature, concerned moms are getting creative. #TNSpecialSession

Caught up with Caucus Chairman Faison a little earlier about this. He bought an ostrich egg and told me something along the lines of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and the Senate had their “ostrich heads buried in the sand.” Whew. More tomorrow. @WKRN #TNLeg23

Just got told by a senator that the remaining Senate committees will be doing the same thing (aside from Finance). Going to be a quick in the Senate today. @WKRN #TNLeg23

Senate Education Committee just killed every bill it was set to hear, including a bill to allow teachers to carry. Senate appears to be moving forward with just three bills. @WKRN #TNLeg23

Caught up with an emotional @SarahShoop33 after she and other Covenant families were kicked out of Civil Justice Subcommittee. "I don't think they get what this means. We're here for six people who were killed in our school. We're just trying to do something." @WKRN #TNLeg23

This Wednesday 5/17 bring flowers and teddy bears to commemorate loved ones and children we have lost to gun violence. Throughout May we will be gathering to commemorate those we have lost. We March together; we mourn together. #kidsnotgunstn @KidsNotGunsTN – at Nashville, TN

Things I’ve heard on the floor of the state of Tn House of Representatives today: “I have no idea what that bill I just voted for was about”, “God says marriage is between a man & a woman”, *someone asleep*, talking & eating popcorn while GRAVE bills are being passed & discussed.

“We’re too tired. Let’s table until Wednesday.” That’s how seriously the #tnlegislature takes protecting children. Even they’re uninspired by their own lame bill to #ProtectOurChildren . #GunReformNOW – at Tennessee, USA

I just heard that sharing thoughts and opinions can have the same effect as eating candy. So, here I am… not eating candy. – at Tennessee, USA

Also, why did my autocorrect keep capitalizing “candy”? – at Tennessee, USA

I've been a pastor in a non-denominational mega church, an ancient-future liturgical church, and a post-christian missional church. We had the same brick wall we slammed into in every place. Consumerism.

What if “Christian” wasn’t a self-proclaimed adjective, but a community-granted title? 😳 – at Tennessee, USA

Say his name… #TyreNichols His life matters. It more than matters - his life was, and is, precious. He should still be alive.

“Institutions have shelf lives. “ True? If so, is it a disservice to move into a company, ministry or org under the assumption that it will not last? #justwondering #worklife #lifeinministry – at Tennessee, USA
